Some people who face chronic problems grumble that knees are the weak link in the chain. Doctors disagree. “The knee is actually very strong,” said Dr. Ed Laskowski, co-director of the Mayo Clinic’s Sports Medicine Center. “It can handle most physical extremes. We’re all playing sports at a higher level than we used to. We’re bigger, faster and stronger. All things considered, it’s a very strong and stable joint.”
