It is less rigid than bone but still firm enough to absorb stress and protect the joint. When an injury to the knee cartilage occurs due to trauma, overuse, sports injuries or aging, it can lead to chronic knee joint pain and swelling. The severity of the injury can range from mild softening of the connective tissue to torn cartilage that exposes underlying bone. Patients with knee cartilage injuries may also experience &#8220;loose bodies&#8221; floating within the joint, which can cause mechanical problems such as catching and locking. Cartilage damage can also result in continued swelling, pain, and limited range of motion, ultimately affecting the knee&#8217;s overall function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a2a4ef1 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a2a4ef1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c1b1ce3\" data-id=\"c1b1ce3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f7c449 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2f7c449\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Are Symptoms Of A Knee Cartilage Injury?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15e2fff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15e2fff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To identify a cartilage injury, the most common symptoms are persistent knee joint pain and swelling.

It is essential to seek medical attention if these symptoms persist or worsen over time, as untreated cartilage injuries can lead to more severe complications such as osteoarthritis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Knee Cartilage?
