Knee

 
The knee joint is located roughly in the middle of the leg and connects the femur, patella and and tibia.  This location of the knee joint makes it responsible for supporting almost the entire weight of the body making it prone to injury and ultimately osteoarthritis as well.  Common knee problems include pain during motion, swelling, popping, grinding and weakness.  The knee specialists at New Mexico Orthopaedics can help you to address these symptoms and others and to create a treatment plan that will minimize long term damage to the joint.  If you are interested in learning more about common knee problems and treatments, please look at our Patient Education Articles.
