In some cases, your doctor may suggest injecting medications or other substances directly into your joint. Examples include corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and PRP. If you have an injury that may require surgery, it’s usually not necessary to have the operation immediately. If you choose to have surgery, your options may include arthroscopic surgery, partial knee replacement surgery, or total knee replacement.

Some of the more common knee injuries include ACL injury, fractures, torn meniscus, and knee bursitis.
