The knee joint is formed from the upper end of the shinbone (tibia) and the lower end of the thighbone – femur and knee cap (patella).
Most common causes of joint pain
Joints help your skeletal bones to move. Some of the common joints include the shoulder, elbow, knee, and hip joint.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint. The femoral head (the top of the femur bone) is the ball; and, the part of the pelvis bone – acetabulum forms the socket.
Fracture and dislocation: A fracture occurs when the bone is broken. It requires medical care. If a person sustains severe injuries or trauma with broken bones, then call your local emergency number.
Joint pain is a common ailment that can affect people of all ages, from athletes to the elderly. It can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain, impacting daily activities and overall quality of life. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for joint pain is crucial for effectively managing this condition.
