Knee joint is the most complex joint in human system which undergoes continuous wear & tear, while trying to stabilize during various activities. This continuous wear & tear results in knee pain which ranges from minor to unbearable morbidity. As the knee joint is the constant pressure joint, it facilitates the pathology to manifest easily.
