According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, approximately 19 million visits were made to physician's offices in 2003 due to knee problems. Many knee injuries occur in athletes; listen to any sports program and you will likely hear of an athlete that suffers from an ACL tear, patella tendonitis or meniscus tear.
