The first orthopedic appointment typically involves an evaluation of your medical history. You can also expect physical tests and diagnostic examinations to examine your injury or condition. The orthopedic surgeon can assess anything from swelling to your range of motion, to reflexes, or even the condition of your skin. The doctor might order an X-ray, ultrasound or/and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan if further investigation is required.

1. Ligament injuries The knee has four major ligaments and they are all vulnerable to damage.
 
2. Meniscal tears The meniscus slowly degenerates over the years. As a result, older adults can tear the meniscus during normal daily movements.
 
3. Osteoarthritis Suffering a ligament injury, meniscal tear, or traumatic knee injury increases your risk of developing post-traumatic arthritis. This type of osteoarthritis develops at a faster pace because of the joint damage.
 
4. Tendon injuries Running and jumping activities can injure both tendons. You’re more likely to have knee pain when the patellar tendon becomes inflamed.
 
5. Fractures and dislocations When the kneecap is fractured, it often breaks into pieces that move out of place and need reconstructive surgery. A dislocation also requires special care to prevent chronic knee instability.
