Means surgery : Will probably be the only thing that can treat it. A torn meniscus means you have torn the cartilage ring of tissue that sits between your femur and tibia in the knee joint. If it is displaced that means it has torn and a flap of tissue is shifted to the middle of the knee joint.

Stuck in joint: A displaced meniscus tear is the leading cause of a locked knee. The meniscus gets into a position like something jammed in a door hinge that doesn't allow it to close. Sometimes it requires the knee to be manipulated to unlock it. Arthroscopy surgery is the final solution.
