Full Title

Overuse injuries of the knee

Summary

This review explores the mechanisms and progression of overuse injuries in the knee, focusing on how repetitive microtrauma without adequate recovery leads to chronic joint pathologies. The authors describe how persistent cartilage stress and insufficient healing can contribute to the development of bursitis, patellofemoral disorders, and degenerative conditions. These findings support the concept that unresolved cartilage injuries can eventually result in bursitis through cumulative joint overload and tissue response.
