knee strain
Bent-leg injury
A knee strain is an injury to the muscles or tendons around the knee joint, caused by overstretching or tearing.
It differs from a sprain, which affects ligaments.
Knee strains typically result from sudden movements, overuse, or improper form during physical activity: I got a knee strain from running on uneven ground.
Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
