Abstract:
Locked knee is an orthopaedic condition requiring urgent treatment. Although the condition can
be diagnosed via history, physical examination and imaging studies, the cause of the mechanical
obstruction may only be apparent during arthroscopic examination of the knee joint. It is known
that imaging plays a role in evaluating the integrity of intra-articular structures, however in some
atypical cases, imaging cannot identify the definitive cause of locked knee. Here we report on two
cases of locked knee, due to uncommon conditions which were unobservable via normal imaging
studies.
