Your knee is made up of many important structures, any of which can be injured. The most common knee injuries include fractures around the knee, dislocation, and sprains and tears of soft tissues, like ligaments. In many cases, injuries involve more than one structure in the knee. Pain and swelling are the most common signs of knee injury. In addition, your knee may catch or lock up.
Knee fracture refers to fractures of any of the parts of bone involved in the joint itself. This includes fractures of: 1  Patella: accounts for 1% of all fractures, most common in ages 20-50. 2  Femoral condyles: these usually fracture when the knee is stressed. 3  Tibial eminence: caused by accidents, such as a blow to the proximal tibia when the knee is flexed, or if the knee is hyperextended during an accident.
