- Mechanical symptoms (locking or catching) are present
- You are unable to return to sports or normal activity

HOW KNEE CONDITIONS ARE TREATED
Treatment depends on the diagnosis and severity:

- Strength and conditioning
- Activity modification
- Medication
Surgical treatment (when required)
- Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery
