Talk to the experts
Though golf is often seen as low impact sport, the swing places significant rotational stress on the knee sometimes up to five times body weight. Over time, this can lead to gradual, often unnoticed injuries that affect performance and long-term joint health.
Common Knee Conditions in Golfers:
- Chondrosis: Cartilage wear under the kneecap causing pain and occasional swelling.
- Meniscal Injury: Cartilage damage from twisting; leads to pain, swelling, or restricted movement.
- Osteoarthritis: Progressive joint degeneration causing stiffness and reduced mobility.
- ACL Injury: Acute ligament damage with instability and swelling.
- MCL Injury: Inner knee pain and tenderness.
Long-Term Risk:
- Repetitive torsional stress on the non-dominant knee during the golf swing may lead to cartilage wear, joint sensitivity, and persistent symptoms.
- Importance of Early Assessment.
- Early specialist review supports accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment, and helps prevent further joint damage. Modern orthopaedics also offers joint preserving options that may delay or avoid surgery.
