A member asked:

Why would my knee feel like it is locking up? 3 or 4 years ago had arthroscope for plica. knee felt great until this past year or 2. 6 months ago knee locked up. hurt to bend or unbend. one day only until 5 months later, yesterday. same thing happend?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plica: Plica can cause pseudolocking or actual locking of the knee joint as the thickened folds can get stuck between the 2 bones. Icing the knee may help. Internal derangement of the knee joint such as occurs with a torn meniscus also can cause locking. Your orthopedic surgeon can evaluate and advise you best.
