Knee Clicking / Locking

About this condition

Clicking without pain is usually harmless. Clicking with pain, swelling or locking can signal a meniscus tear or a loose fragment inside the joint and deserves assessment.

What you may notice

Clicks, catching, or a knee that gets stuck and will not fully straighten.

How we help

This often points to a meniscal or cartilage problem. Examination and MRI guide treatment, from exercises to keyhole surgery.

This page is general information. The right option depends on your examination and scans, so please book a consultation for advice on your own case.
