A significant number of patients consult us having sustained a knee injury. This can be the result of significant twisting injury, but occasionally the knee just seems to flare up after an activity.
Severe twisting injuries can often lead to major ligament injuries (most commonly ACL and/or MCL), they may also lead to acute traumatic meniscal tears.
More insiduous onset of symptoms after activity can be caused by degenerate meniscal tears.
