My knee locks up, what can I do? 

MY KNEE IS LOCKED UP. WHAT DO I DO? If your knee is stuck and won’t move—especially if it’s bent and won’t straighten—you might be dealing with what we call a “true locked knee.” This is something you should never ignore. Dr. P’s Three Secrets: 1. True locking usually happens when the knee gets stuck in a bent (flexed) position.The most common causes? • A flap of torn cartilage (usually meniscus) that flips up and gets caught between the bones • A loose piece of tissue or bone floating in the joint (aka a “loose body”) Both can act like a pebble in a door hinge—stopping your knee from moving. Yes, it can get stuck in a straight position, but that’s far less common. Often, members will tell us they have to shake the knee around or twist it just right to unlock it. 2. If it keeps happening or doesn’t go away—don’t wait. You need a healthcare professional—ideally someone who specializes in knees, like an orthopedic surgeon or regenerative medicine specialist—to evaluate it. A good history, physical exam, and imaging (like a proper X-rays and MRI-sometimes an MRI arthrogram, i.e. an MRI where contrast dye is injected into the joint to see if there’s something truly loose floating around) are key to getting to the root cause. This is literally what we do all day. It’s our job—and what we’re best at. 3. Here’s a trick that might help temporarily—but isn’t a fix. If it’s really bothering you, try sitting on a high table or chair, dangle your legs over the side, and gently rotate the leg back and forth. Sometimes that motion can help dislodge what’s stuck. But again—don’t rely on this alone. The real answer is to get it checked out and properly diagnosed. We help people every day with these types of issues. Let’s see if we can help you unlock your knee!
