It is usually related to repetitive bending and straightening of the knee during activities like running or cycling. Clinicians use the term to describe a pattern of symptoms and exam findings rather than a single \u201ctear\u201d or one-time injury. It is commonly discussed in sports medicine, orthopedics, and physical therapy when evaluating lateral knee pain."}
