1. There are numerous causes of knee problems. It is one of the most common complaints at practically all ages.While knee pain has multiple causes, the most common is osteoarthritis, particularly in the older population. However, there are other conditions besides osteoarthritis which can cause pain, such as meniscal cartilage tears and ligament injuries of the knee, or issues that affect blood circulation in the surrounding bone area, leading to a condition called osteonecrosis.
