Need to be evaluated: Locking is not normal in any knee. Locking in extension is more likely a knee cap problem, but could be a torn cartilage. You should have this evaluated by the surgeon who performed surgery on your knee a year ago. You may need physical therapy but you may need further surgery. The surgeon knows what's going on in your knee and would have a better idea of what could be causing your problem.

I went to a hospital a year back, and was told that I have a knee meniscus tear, from which they did a knee arthroscopy to remove the torn meniscus. I havent been doing any extreme sports, but now the pain is back, and it somewhat feels worse.
