  Meniscus The meniscus – an elastic structure made of collagen tissue and fibrocartilage found in the knee joint – is of crucial importance for the proper functioning of the knee joint, i.e. the uniform distribution of weight and the stabilization of the knee joint.   The causes that may cause meniscus damage are varied...

Achilles tendon rupture

Achilles tendon rupture The Achilles tendon – the strongest tendon in the human body – is responsible for the movement of the ankle joint but also for filtering the voluntary or involuntary excessive muscle contraction, very common in athletes. Achilles tendon rupture (damage) is one of the rare sports injuries and occurs mainly in amateur...

Cruciate injuries

Crucifix injuries Crucifix injuries include fractures, partial or complete tears of the anterior cruciate and posterior cruciate ligaments.
