How do you treat locked joints?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the cause. If there is a loose body or a meniscus tear or something in the way to mechanically lock the joint, then a surgery to remove the obstruction can be performed. Often, therapy and stretching can help improve joint motion.
