There are many causes of knee pain in the athlete. Clearly, common things, such as meniscal tears, ligament sprains, contusions, and patellofemoral dysfunction, are common. The infrequency of other entities, however, should not make the physician complacent. A thorough history and physical examination will, in most cases, elicit inconsistencies in the occasional athlete presenting with one of these uncommon causes of knee pain (Table 1). Diagnosing these uncommon causes, when they do present to the health care provider, allows for early and correct treatment with a more rapid return to sports.
运动员膝盖疼痛有多种原因。显然，常见的原因，如半月板撕裂、韧带扭伤、挫伤和髌股关节功能障碍很常见。然而，其他病症的罕见性不应使医生掉以轻心。在大多数情况下，全面的病史和体格检查会在偶尔出现这些不常见膝盖疼痛原因之一的运动员身上发现不一致之处（表1）。当这些不常见的原因确实出现在医疗服务提供者面前时，对其进行诊断有助于早期正确治疗，使运动员更快重返运动。
