A member asked:
I have mild osteoarthritis in my knee with a torn miniscus. i stood on the leg alone and something moved/snapped in the back knee and i lost stability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A torn meniscus can-: - be made worse with minimal loading of the knee. Now it may be displaying or catching and the giving way causes the muscles to let go & hence the feeling of instability. Consult with your orthopedic surgeon.
