A member asked:
What is done for a torn ligament and locked knee from football?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: The locked knee is generally a meniscus tear that can be trimmed arthroscopically and a torn ligament may need to be reconstructed if it is the acl or sometimes if it is the pcl. If it is an mcl or lcl these are commonly treated without surgery.
