Knee
In a country where football and skiing are by far the two most popular sports, it hardly comes as a surprise that knee injuries belong to the most common causes for treatment.
Anterior or posterior crucial ligament (ACL/PCL) tears, medial or lateral collateral ligament (MCL / LCL) tears, and meniscus injuries are all equally common, often occurring in combination (“unhappy triad”).
Injuries of the kneecap are also common (patella fracture & dislocation). In addition, as a joint that is primarily stabilized by muscles, the knee is also prone to various ailments with muscular causes (such as Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee) and soft tissue irritations (plica syndrome, baker’s cyst, cartilage damage).
