Every knee condition presents a unique set of challenges and requires a comprehensive plan of care.  ACL Tears usually occur during athletic activity such as when a person jumps or during abrupt movements.  A torn meniscus, otherwise known as Meniscus Tears, can cause pain and limited mobility in the knee.  A common symptom is a clicking sound in the knee and limited mobility.  It is important to see one of our Bonita Springs or Fort Myers knee doctors at OCF so they can efficiently treat one who has either condition.  Common treatments are physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications and in some cases, surgery.

Other common knee conditions that result from sports injuries or extensive athletic activity are Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee) or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee).  Both conditions place severe stress on the cartilage or kneecap and symptoms include pain under and around the knee which can increase during physical activity.  Treatment options are rest, ice, phyical therapy, knee brace or surgery.  Tibial Fractures of the knee are a break in the shine bone, called the tibia.  Diseases can weaken this bone and cause it to crack or break, but direct trauma to the leg is the most common cause of this fracture.  Prepatellar Bursitis (Kneecap Bursitis) is when the front of the kneecap becomes inflamed with fluid resulting in swelling.  Roofers, plumbers, carpet layers and other people who spend long periods of time on their knees have an increased risk for this condition.
