Knee locking when in a bent position and then painful to straighten out. thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee locking: Whenever we hear patients have knee locking and difficulty completely bending or straightening, we think of either arthritis or perhaps a meniscus injury depending on the history and examination. If you are young and healthy this may be a tracking issue with your kneecap.This one you should see your pcp, sports med or orthopedic physician.
