Introduction: The knee is one of the intermediate joints that supports large loads, being characterized by its bone instability that makes it susceptible to the development of injuries, especially ligament injuries, cartilage wear or bone fractures.

Materials and methods: This is a descriptive research, with a quantitative, documentary, correlational and transversal approach.  The sample consisted of 58 patients from a physical therapy clinic in the orthopedic area in the city of Montes Claros-MG. The instrument used was medical records, with personal and clinical data. Discussion: The study showed the highest prevalence in Patellar Chondropathy (23) followed by bilateral Chondropathy (9) and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Lesion (5), the study showed no significant correlation between sex and age. Results: At the end records of 57 patients aged 10 to 80 years were evaluated, where it was possible to analyze that Patellar Chondropathy (23) was above the other diagnoses, followed by Bilateral Chondropathy (9), ACL (5) and Gonoarthrosis (4), In this study no significant correlation was found between sex.
