Knee pain is common and can be a symptom of many knee conditions or injuries. The pain in the inside of the knee is also called the medial knee or inner knee pain. The medial knee is the area of the knee that\u2019s closest to the opposite knee. Typically, medial knee pain occurs by the deterioration of cartilage, muscle weakness, and tightness around the knee. There are several structures on the medial side of the knee and problems in any one or more can cause pain. Knee pain on the inside is also by sudden trauma and develops gradually through overuse or poor lower limb biomechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The knee is one of the most complex joints in the body, comprising the intersection of four bones, four ligaments, several tendons, two menisci, and articular cartilage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in our body. The medial knee comprises several layers of structures that work together to provide stability and function. Structures on the medial side of the knee comprise the tibia, femur, vastus medialis obliquus muscle, semitendinosus tendon, gracilis tendon, sartorius tendon, adductor magnus tendon, medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle, semimembranosus tendon, medial meniscus, medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL), deep medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the posterior oblique ligament (POL). The most significant structures for stabilization in the medial knee ligaments are: sMCL, dMCL, and POL. Damages to the medial side of the knee are most frequently isolated to these ligaments.<\/p>\n\n\n
