Managing Knee Pain

Smith & Nephew

Knee pain is very common in the United States. In fact, 33% of Americans over the age of 45 report some form of knee pain.1

There are many causes of knee pain. Some medical conditions such as arthritis, gout, infection and inflammation can cause pain. Injuries, often due to sports, are other causes of knee pain. These injuries include ruptured ligaments and torn cartilage.
