In : In addition to a possible meniscus tear as suggested by the other physician previously, girls at your age commonly suffer from front of the knee pain that relates to your knee cap. This is known by many names including patella-femoral pain syndrome, retropatellar pain syndrome, chondromalacia patella, and runner's knee. The pain associated with this problem is often described as a locking sensation when the knee cap does not track properly in the groove that it sits in called the trochlea. Ultimately, this does need to be further evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon to help figure out the problem and recommend proper treatment.
