Muscular, tendon or even neurological causes could be the culprits. Talk to the physician who has ordered these tests and continue the search for a diagnosis. They may want to refer you or do more imaging. Be persistent in pursuing a diagnosis.

Standard X-rays of your knee would be unlikely to reveal cause of leg collapse and loss of balance. Obtain a neurological consultation and uncover the etiology of your problems.
