A member asked:
If my knee muscle snaps will it stop me from dancing and will i need an operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle snap: It depends on the muscle and where and how much is torn. A complete tear of the quadriceps insertion at the knee will require an operation. Other partial tears can be treated with rest and therapy.
