Left knee hurts medial and laterally. on the lateral side my left knee gets stuck and locks up that i am unable to straighten the knee. what is wrong? what is the tendon called that runs down the lateral side of the knee?

Could be issues with cartilage or ligaments. Recommend visit to an orthopedic surgeon. An MRI study should reveal internal knee joint tears or degeneration. Treatments can enhance your quality of life.
