If you have knee pain, we recommend a consultation with a healthcare professional to ensure the correct diagnosis and treatment,

  • Above the knee joint line: pain on the outside of the knee can be related to iliotibial band pain syndrome, and this is felt above the joint line into the outer side of the thigh, but can sometimes continue along the outside of the knee to just below the joint line.
  • At the knee joint line: injury to the lateral meniscus or lateral collateral ligament will be felt along the joint line of the knee.
  • Below the knee joint line: a calf injury can be felt on the outside of the knee, but located to the back and below the joint line.
  • Quadriceps tendinopathy can sometimes be described as being on the outside of the knee but is usually more focused at the front of the knee at the superior pole of the patella.
