I'm older and I injured my knee 10 wks ago and knew immediately and in 10 min could not get up from a chair. x-ray shows no fracture or significant arthritis. MRI shows complex radial medial meniscus tear, bone bruise, Baker's cyst & loose bodies. So this did NOT happen over time. So what about the studies on ppl like me? My Ortho said if I were younger I would've already had surgery. I'm on compression hose, brace & started PT. I have had locking 3 times and in pain. I know loose bodies can cause the knee to lock up, also. So I feel I am screwed no matter what.
