2. Prepatellar bursitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepatellar_bursitis

   [5]: p. 608 Unlike arthritis, except in severe cases prepatellar bursitis generally does not affect the range of motion of the knee, though it may cause some discomfort in complete flexion of the joint. [6]: p. 360 Flexion and extension of the knee may be accompanied by crepitus, the audible grating of bones, ligaments, or particles within the ...

3. Iliotibial band syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome

   Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is the second most common knee injury, and is caused by inflammation located on the lateral aspect of the knee due to friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral epicondyle of the femur. [2] Pain is felt most commonly on the lateral aspect of the knee and is most intensive at 30 degrees of knee flexion. [2]

4. Infrapatellar fat pad syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrapatellar_fat_pad_syndrome

   Pain is generally just below the kneecap. [2] Symptoms may worsen if the knee is overly straightened or bent for too long a period. [2] Complications may include an inability to fully straighten the knee. [2] The underlying mechanism may involve bleeding, inflammation, or insufficient space for the fat pad. [2]

5. Arthrofibrosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrofibrosis

   [4] [5] Arthrofibrosis can follow knee injury and knee surgeries like arthroscopic knee surgery or knee replacement. Scar tissue can cause structures of the knee to become contracted, restricting normal motion. Depending on the site of scarring, knee cap mobility and/or joint range of motion (i.e. flexion, extension, or both) may be affected. [6]

6. Patellofemoral pain syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellofemoral_pain_syndrome

   Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS; not to be confused with jumper's knee) is knee pain as a result of problems between the kneecap and the femur. [4] The pain is generally in the front of the knee and comes on gradually. [2] [4] Pain may worsen with sitting down with a bent knee for long periods of time, excessive use, or climbing and ...

7. Knee effusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_effusion

   Knee effusion, informally known as water on the knee, occurs when excess synovial fluid accumulates in or around the knee joint. It has many common causes, including arthritis , injury to the ligaments or meniscus , or fluid collecting in the bursa , a condition known as prepatellar bursitis .

8. Genu recurvatum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genu_recurvatum

   Hyperextension of the knee may be mild, moderate or severe. The normal range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint is from 0 to 135 degrees in an adult. Full knee extension should be no more than 10 degrees. In genu recurvatum, normal extension is increased. The development of genu recurvatum may lead to knee pain and knee osteoarthritis.

9. Patellar dislocation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_dislocation

   Adding extra external support around the knee by using devices such as knee [orthotics] or athletic tape can help to prevent patellar dislocation and other knee-related injuries. [18] External supports, such as knee braces and athletic tape , work by providing movement in only the desired planes and help hinder movements that can cause abnormal ...
