A member asked:

How can i avoid knee joint ?damage while playing sports?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stretch, play smart: Make sure you stretch pregame adequately.\ make sure you take time when not playing to exercise the knees to strengthen them. Also play smart. Don't take unnecessary risk in game that jeopardize those knees. Good luck!
