What exactly does it mean when your knee gives out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different causes: "giving out" or weakness of the knees can have different causes. These can include problems outside the knee joint itself (weak muscles for example) or inside the knee (torn ligaments or cartilage). See an orthopaedic surgeon to address your individual problem.
