A meniscal tear is one of the most common knee injuries — and one of the most frequently missed because many people assume their clicking knee is just "one of those things."

Mr Bilal Barkatali, a specialist knee surgeon at The Knee Clinic Manchester, explains exactly how a torn meniscus causes clicking, catching, and locking sensations — and why getting it diagnosed early is so important for your long-term knee health.

Signs your clicking knee could be a meniscal tear:
- Clicking or catching when bending/straightening
- ⁠Pain along the inner or outer knee line
- ⁠Swelling that appears hours after activity
- ⁠Feeling of the knee "giving way"
- ⁠Difficulty fully extending the knee

If these symptoms sound familiar, don't delay. A private knee specialist near you can arrange an MRI and give you a clear diagnosis — often within days, not months.
