Hello,

This sounds more of the knee injury to the soft tissues internally. An MRI is advised.

As the knee gets locked and doesn't release faster I think an MRI is a must to see the soft tissue alignment. Due to any ligament injury, it might happen. Ligament injury doesn't need only an acute Injury it can be even due to degenerative changes.

I will advise to hot water fermentation, use knee cap, do exercises like - static quadriceps, static hamstring, ankle toe movements and straight leg raise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
