Hi. The symptom you mentioned appears to be of locking of knee which is most commonly seen after bucket handle tear of the meniscus. Get it removed by key hole or laser or arthroscopic surgery - all the same. It is 10-15 min work and complete relief of locking symptoms.

⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Yes, It is better to have arthroscopic surgery - not open. Most people will get good results.
