Knee Pain Specialist

What causes knee pain?

You can develop knee pain from an injury, overuse, or an underlying disease. Common causes of knee pain include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury
• Dislocation
• Fractures
• Meniscal tears
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Loose body (a piece of cartilage or bone floating in the joint space)
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain between the kneecap and thighbone)

You may also develop knee pain if you have problems with your ankles or hips. The knee is a large weight-bearing joint, and problems with other weight-bearing joints may place extra stress on the knees, causing pain.
