Scope knee joints: Instability of the knee joint can be a serious issue, and requires investigation by looking into the joint and ruling out major ligament tears or ruptures. Get an ortho knee joint specialist to take a look and decide next steps. This is surgery, but this is one of your most important limb joints !
