neutral  Polangmar: "Knee joint locking" samodzielnie prawie nie występuje - przeważnie jest to część dłuższej frazy (knee-joint locking mechanism (najczęściej), knee joint locking device, knee joint locking episodes, knee-joint locking orthosis itp.) http://je.pl/8yjs

agree  xxxOTMed: Locked knee joint jest lepsze - blokada stawu to też slangowe określenie, przy okazji mylące bo może sugerować znieczulenie. Obok moja propozycja.

chodzi o blokadę= blockage in the knee joint, or locking of the knee joint.

http://www.dwp.gov.uk/medical/med_conditions/minor/torn_knee...

http://www.lockedknee.com/

Physical pain that creates the locked knee may be due to ailments in and around the knee, such as torn ligaments. These ligaments may become wrapped around the knee, creating blockage and pain. In many instances, the ligament will either heal on its own, or surgery may be needed to alleviate the pain.

--basically I think this is referring to a blocking, or blockage in the knee due to damage, or disease, which then may cause the joint to lock or stiffen.
