>Increased risk of knee injury may occur due to knee extension overuse. The patella becomes laterally displaced with the pull of the vastus lateralis. This patella tracking problem can produce wear on the inferior patellar surface. Avoiding full range of motion (ie: not locking out) during Quadricep exercise may not allow the Vastus Medialis to be fully strengthened since it is more fully activated at these final degrees of knee extension.
Thought this was worth sharing
What this is implying is to do exercises that let you safely lock knees to get full ROM (https://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/LVLegExtension for example)
