Knee strain is a degenerative condition of the knee joint. Bone hyperplasia of the knee joint and subpatellar fat pad strain are the most common manifestations of knee joint strain lesions, which are one of the common and frequent diseases in middle-aged and elderly people. Strain can cause damage to the fat pad, with hyperemia, edema, exudation, and adhesions, and can also produce bone hyperplasia in the knee joint.

It is more common in occupations with excessive knee movement such as climbing, squatting, and long-distance walking. The patient feels that the knee pain is uncomfortable, and the pain is exacerbated when the knee is fully straightened, and worsens on rainy days and after exertion. The pain may radiate posteriorly to the popliteal fossa, along the muscles of the posterior calf, and down to the calcaneus. If the disease is long and the lesion is severe, there may be mild swelling of the knee joint.
