Knee Locking.?
Knee locking is a condition where the knee joint becomes stuck in one position, either bent or straight, and can't be moved freely. There are two types of knee locking:
True Locking: This occurs when the knee physically cannot move, typically caused by a mechanical obstruction in the knee. Common causes include:
Meniscus tear: A piece of torn cartilage gets caught in the joint, preventing movement.
Loose body: Fragments of bone or cartilage float inside the joint, causing it to get stuck.
Osteochondritis dissecans: A condition where a fragment of bone and cartilage separates from the knee, leading to mechanical blocking.
Pseudo-Locking: The knee feels stuck but can eventually be moved with some effort. This is usually due to pain, swelling, or muscle tightness around the knee rather than a physical obstruction. Causes include:
Patellofemoral pain syndrome: Pain around the kneecap can make movement uncomfortable.
Ligament injuries: Damage to ligaments can lead to instability or a sense of locking.
Arthritis: Inflammation can cause stiffness and difficulty moving the knee.
If you're experiencing knee locking, it's best to see a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
