A member asked:

Does pain and clicking at the medial joint line suggest that you have a medial meniscus tear? where is your tibiofemoral joint line?

Possibly: The knee joint is the joint between the femur and the tibia, and so the to tibiofemoral joint line is just another the name for the knee joint. A medial meniscal tear can cause pain and clicking in the knee, but is not the only cause. Usually a detailed exam and appropriate diagnostic studies can help make the diagnosis. Thank you for your question.
