A member asked:

Could you tell me why my knee feels stuck after meniscus tear? help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Caught in the joint.: The tear may be flipping in and out of the knee joint, causing locking or catching. Usually, with those types of symptoms, you would require arthroscopic knee surgery, to remove the torn piece of meniscus.
