A member asked:
Will my knee always lock up due to a meniscus tear a month ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: A torn meniscus can act like a "hangnail" and cause irritation and locking symptoms within the knee. You most likely will require arthroscopic surgery to take care of the problem.
