It often affects active individuals, especially runners and cyclists, leading to symptoms like medial knee pain, clicking, and swelling. Early diagnosis through clinical evaluation and imaging is crucial as symptoms can mimic other knee injuries. Initial treatment involves activity modification, anti-inflammatory measures, and physiotherapy, with surgery reserved for persistent cases. Preventive strategies include strengthening exercises, proper warm-up, and suitable footwear to reduce recurrence risk. Recognizing symptoms early and seeking prompt medical advice ensures optimal knee function and recovery.
