Knee specialist orthopedist Vienna – knee pain
Your knee specialist in Vienna – Professional care for knee pain.
Knee pain is one of the most common pains in our musculoskeletal
system!
Knee pain is one of the most common complaints in the musculoskeletal system. The knee joint, with its complex anatomical structure, harbors numerous potential sources of pain such as muscles, ligaments, cartilage, menisci and bones. This variety makes a precise diagnosis essential in order to determine the exact causes of your knee pain. In younger patients, the cause is often sports-related injuries such as meniscus or cruciate ligament injuries. In advanced age, previous injuries or degenerative changes such as joint cartilage wear often lead to complaints.
Knee pain serves as a critical warning signal from the body, indicating injuries or overexertion, and should always be taken seriously to avoid consequential damage such as premature wear of the articular cartilage. Timely clarification and initiation of appropriate treatment are therefore essential to prevent long-term damage and ensure successful therapy.
