Second, muscle and tendon injuries behind the knee: most of the muscle and tendon injuries behind the knee occur during strenuous exercise, the patient will have local pain symptoms after the tendon injury, and accompanied by limited movement of the knee and lower leg, unable to stand and exercise for a long time.
