A hyperextended knee can happen in a split second. 🦵 Maybe you land awkwardly after a jump, collide with another player, or take a wrong step during a busy day.
That backward force pushes the knee past its normal limit and overstretches the ligaments that keep it stable. The result is pain, swelling, and a knee that just doesn’t feel as steady as it should. 💢
We see this injury in athletes of all ages, from middle school players to weekend warriors. If you’re dealing with knee pain after a sudden twist or impact, it’s worth getting it checked out.
