Las Vegas Knee Injury Lawyers

The knee, which the largest joint in the body, is extremely susceptible to injury. The ligaments (the tissues that connect bones to other bones), tendons (the tissues that connect muscles to bone), the cartilage and bursa, or even the bones themselves can become damaged or deteriorate over time. Depending on the amount of use the knee is subject to and a variety of diseases or other conditions, the knee can easily be injured, causing significant pain and a decrease in quality of life.

Types of Knee Injuries

There are a number of different types of knee injuries that can occur, some of which include:

• Ligament Injuries: Ligaments are typically torn during falls or trauma, and you can often hear a "popping" sound when injured. It may make it difficult or impossible to put any weight on the knee, creating the feeling that the knee may buckle.
• Tendon Injuries: Tendons commonly become inflamed, especially in athletes participating in cardiovascular sports such as runners and bicyclers. Tendonitis may cause pain, swelling, and restricted motion.
• Bursitis: Bursitis is an inflammation, or occasionally an infection of the bursa, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee. Symptoms include warmth, redness and swelling, and considerable pain.
• Meniscus Injuries: A piece of cartilage in the knee, the meniscus may tear which can severely limit the knee's range of motion and cause pain and moderate swelling.
