Causes of the a knee capsule

The site of pathology localization is most often the area of attachment of tendons to the inner surface of the joint or muscle tissue on the inner side of the tibia. Tendons of the semimembranous and tailoring area can also be affected. The disease can develop against the background of tendonitis of the knee joint, tenbursitis.

The main causes and risk factors for the periarthritis of the knee:

• Traumatic injuries of the knee.
• Prolonged overvoltage.
• Increased physical activity.
• Subcooling.
• Sedentary lifestyle.
• Chronic lesions of the musculoskeletal system.
• Exchange and hormonal disorders in the body.
