Knee

Our knees work hard for us - very hard - especially when we maintain active lifestyles.

That's why the knee is vulnerable to a number of debilitating injuries and conditions - and why it's so critical to receive advanced, expert diagnosis and care for those maladies.

Understanding the Knee:

The knee is a joint that unites the thigh with the leg, and it is a system of moving parts consisting of cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

It is a hinge that supplies our body with the strength to run, squat, jump, and turn.

DID YOU KNOW? According to a 2013 report from Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 15.3 percent of all injuries sustained by U.S. high school athletes are knee injuries - with football, girls' soccer, and girls' gymnastics having the highest knee injury rates.
