The most frequently affected bursa around the joint is located just above the kneecap.This is more common in people who kneel for work, such as gardeners or carpet layers.
Plica Syndrome
Plica syndrome is a rare cause of knee pain and can be difficult to diagnose.The diagnosis is usually made during arthroscopy.
Osgood-Schlatter disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition seen in adolescents and is caused by irritation of the growth plate just in front of the joint.
