A member asked:
Does a displaced meniscal root cause locking of the knee when you try to straighten the leg? is surgery the only option to fix a displacement?

Yes: A torn meniscus can cause the knee to lock. Most will require surgical evaluation. Some may be amenable to rehabilitation depending on the severity and location of the tear.
