Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common condition where the articular cartilage breaks down and essentially wears away, leaving the underlying bone exposed.
An ACL injury is a knee injury that involves the tearing or stretching of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a ligament that stabilises the knee joint.
A Meniscus Injury is any damage to this cartilage disc, sometimes referred to as a cartilage tear. Meniscus tears are the most common type of knee injury, which can be a partial tear, or larger total tear.
Recurrent patellar dislocation is a condition characterised by the repeated slipping of the patella, or kneecap, out of its groove on the front of the lower end of the femur (thigh bone).
