Where are your complaints located?

Anterior knee joint pain primarily refers to the area of the anterior knee joint. They include pain in the area of the anterior thigh, the anterior lower leg, the quadriceps and patellar tendon of the kneecap, and the anterior knee joint space. In addition to direct anatomical structural damage to the knee joint, problems in other areas remote from the knee joint can also be held responsible for pain in the anterior knee joint.

External knee joint pain primarily refers to pain in the area of the outer knee joint and thus includes pain in the area of the outer thigh and lower leg, the outer ligament, the surrounding soft tissues, the outer knee joint gap and the head of the fibula (caput fibulae). In addition to direct anatomical structural damage to the knee joint, problems in other areas remote from the knee joint can also be held responsible for pain in the outer knee joint. In addition to pain in the area of the inner thigh and lower leg, this includes pain in the area of the inner ligament, the surrounding soft tissues and the inner knee joint gap.

It cannot be ruled out that problems in other areas remote from the knee joint may also be responsible for pain in the area of the inner knee joint. Pain in the popliteal fossa refers primarily to pain in the area of the rear knee joint. In addition to pain in the area of the rear upper and lower leg, this also includes pain in the area of the joint capsule and the surrounding soft tissues. In addition to direct anatomical structural damage to the knee joint, problems in other areas remote from the knee joint can also be held responsible for pain in the popliteal fossa.
