Knee instability is the sensation of the knee twisting or moving from side to side when doing basic activities. It can result from a range of causes – most often a ligament injury. Our orthopedic specialists can usually treat an unstable knee with nonsurgical solutions like physical therapy and medication.
Knee instability is often caused by ligament injuries. You have four ligaments at the knee joint. Ligament injuries have different degrees of severity. They require the expertise of orthopedic specialists who develop treatment plans based on the type and severity of the injury.
Nonsurgical treatments for knee instability can include physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and knee braces to better support the knee joint. Often, however, surgical treatment may be needed to restore the normal structure of the knee joint.

Your knee joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid. Muscles and tendons help the knee joint move. When any of these structures is hurt or diseased, you have knee problems. Knee problems can cause pain and difficulty walking. Knee problems are very common, and they occur in people of all ages.
