About 5% of all visits by adult patients to primary care clinicians are connected to knee pain. The most common causes include meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, and pain from the patellar, although many other ailments might be related.

Conservative management, with a focus on self-management, education, and exercise, is generally considered first-line treatment. However, any type of knee pain can potentially be associated with significant disability, and some patients require surgical interventions.
