What to do if i could not straighten my knee after a basketball injury.help?

Recommend an exam: Please be evaluated by a medical professional. Inability to straighten the knee can be a mechanical block to extension such as a meniscus tear or loose body or cartilage injury. Ice, rest, protected weight bearing in the meantime, but do have the knee examined.
