Common Sports Injuries: The Knee

Knee injuries are not just for professional athletes. Whether you are a “weekend warrior” playing soccer, a teen playing year-round basketball, a baby-boomer playing tennis, or out enjoying a stroll along the boardwalk on the Jersey shore, you can easily fall victim to a knee injury. Knee and ligament tears are the most common injuries for which adults receive treatment. Treatment may include surgery, an extended course of physical therapy both pre and post surgery, and conditioning exercises that can aid in preventing future damage. The panel examines ways to help prevent common knee and ligament injuries, as well as surgical interventions and post-surgery rehabilitation.
