What happens inside when you twist your knee?

Answer 1

A twisted knee is another way of expressing a sprain in the knee. Sprains being when you extend a tendon or a ligament beyond its normal limit, thus causing pain.

Let's take, for example, your Medial Collateral Ligament. Runs down the inside of your leg connecting your Femur to your Tibia. If it is strained, it is pushed beyond its natural ROM (Range of Motion) and micro-tears form on it, depending on the force of the trauma, other ligaments/tendons may or may not be affected.

Answer 2

When you lock your knees, you can either feel light headed, throw up or faint, you may do all, if your that type of person. If you lock your knees in a few minutes, then you probably, most likely faint. If you are a person that has like never fainted or felt light headed, then you will, possibly throw up without knowing the right time, you'll feel like you will but you don't know exactly when.

Answer 3

When you twist your knee you immediately strain a ligament. It can either be a really bad strain or minor strain. This can happen at any time, say youre in the house, playing Basketball, soccer, whatever. Your bones scrape together causing extreme pain, and swelling. Then your knee gets into the "bent" position where it feels painful ot straighten again. then you need to go to the hospital and take some x-rays.

Answer 4

When you bend your knee your knee joints bend. Also, you use a few muscles in your leg. Another interesting fact about joints; you can only use joints to bend that certain body part one way.

Answer 5

Your knee pivots to help you walk.
