A member asked:

About a week ago my left knee locked on me and my knee cap has been sore ever since. i can walk on the leg its just sore all the time.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Locking knee: A locked knee can be due to a "loose body" --osteochondral or cartilagenous fragment that has broken off from the surrounding articular cartilage. This can occur after a patella (kneecap) dislocation. A locked knee can also occur with a severe meniscal tear such as a bucket handle tear.
