Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Internal derangement: As an active young adult, any loss of motion and especially the ability to straighten the knee is to be taken seriously. A thorough orthopaedic evaluation and basic X-rays are warranted to elucidate the cause of your knee pain. The more likely diagnosis is a meniscal tear.
