What can be cause for lateral posterior knee pain while bending the knee?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Orthopedist: Possible causes are tendonitis, ligamental strain, or internal derangement of cartilage. Arthritis or a spur are less likely. If symptoms persist or worsen consult a specialist in orthopedics.
