AB  - Knee  injuries  present  frequently  in  virtually  all  age  groups  within  a  pediatric  practice.  The  age  and  mechanism  of  injury  are  guidelines  to  a  correct  diagnosis.  A  swollen,  painful  knee  in  an  infant  should  raise  the  suspicion  of  child  abuse  or  infection.  In  the  young  child,  significant  ligament  or  meniscal  injuries  are  rare,  but  epiphyseal  separations  and  fractures  are  more  frequent.  In  the  adolescent,  internal  injuries  to  menisci  and  ligaments  are  common  and  most  often  result  from  sports  activities,  with  or  without  contact.  Patellar  dislocations  are  also  more  common  in  adolescents.
