Many causes: It would be good to see your physician to assess if there is a problem with your ligaments or meniscus. There might be an xray ordered. Further testing such as a MRI might be ordered later. There are many causes of weak knee. Without knowing the history and a physical exam of your knee, we are only speculating.
