Knee Instability

Knee instability is the feeling that the knee may give way or cannot be trusted during movement. At Orthosport Clinics, we focus on identifying the cause of instability and guiding you to the most appropriate care.

Common Symptoms

  • The knee giving way during walking or sport
  • Lack of confidence when changing direction
  • Swelling after activity or injury
  • Pain or discomfort with movement
  • Difficulty returning to exercise or sport

Why Knee Instability Happens

  • Knee instability may result from injury, muscle weakness, movement or alignment problems, or previous knee surgery. In many cases, more than one factor contributes.

Do I Need Surgery?

  • Not always. Many knee problems improve with the right assessment, targeted rehabilitation, and activity modification. Surgery is considered only when it offers clear benefit.

Our Approach

We will:

  • Listen to your symptoms
  • Assess knee movement and stability
  • Review scans if needed
  • Explain findings clearly
  • Recommend evidence-based treatment tailored to your goals

Recovery

Recovery depends on the cause and treatment chosen. Our aim is to restore stability, confidence, and safe return to daily activities or sport.
