Abstract
Introduction: A ligament tear or torn cartilage are two examples of injuries that can cause knee pain. Medical conditions like gout, arthritis, and infections can also cause knee pain. The existence of knee pain is a better predictor for any stuctural alterations in the knee joint. Case Report: Having undergone a right knee arthroscopy 15 years prior for knee pain related to an ACL injury, a 46-year-old man presented our department with intermittent right knee discomfort that had been persistent for four months. The patient's primary regions of pain include the area over the right shin, the medial and lateral portions of the right tibia, as well as the medial patellar region. The patient's knee pain made it challenging for him to carry out daily tasks like walking, squatting, and climbing stairs. Conclusion: This is a unique case presentation of chronic knee-unlocking syndrome followed by an ACL injury. Other symptoms and indicators that the patient complains about are secondary biomechanical changes and adaptations brought on by his unlocked knee posture.
