This shift increases pressure on posterior knee structures, causing discomfort during movement.

Early intervention and consistent physiotherapy are critical to restore knee stability and prevent complications. Patients should monitor their symptoms closely and seek medical advice if pinching worsens, or if accompanied by pain, numbness, or swelling.
