Knee Contusion: What It Is, Symptoms, Treatment, And Recovery

Aknee contusion is an injury from a hit or bump to the knee. The force of the damage weakens small blood vessels which consequently allows blood to leak into surrounding tissues. This results in bruising, tenderness and occasionally swelling.

The skin remains intact, as opposed to a cut or an open wound. If someone runs and knocks the front of his/her knee on the ground, for instance, he/she might get bruised on the kneecap. The area may be tender when walking, bending knees, or touching.
