Why Your Knees Crack and Pop | One Best exercise For Knee Crepitus:

Knee cracking or popping, also known as crepitus, is a common phenomenon that can occur during movement. Here are some potential causes and when it might be a concern:

Causes of Knee Cracking/Popping

1. Normal Joint Movement:

Gas bubbles within the synovial fluid can form and burst, producing a popping sound.

This is usually harmless and does not cause pain.

2. Ligament or Tendon Movement:

Tendons or ligaments snapping over bony structures can create a cracking sound, especially during squats or kneeling.

3. Cartilage Wear or Tear:

Conditions like osteoarthritis or chondromalacia patella can cause uneven joint surfaces, leading to cracking sounds.

This is often accompanied by pain or stiffness.

4. Meniscus Injury:

A torn meniscus can cause a popping sound, particularly during twisting motions of the knee.

It may also cause swelling, pain, and limited movement.

5. Patellar Instability:

If the kneecap does not glide smoothly in its groove, it can result in popping or grinding sounds.


When to See a Physiotherapist or Doctor

The popping is accompanied by pain, swelling, or stiffness.

You experience a feeling of instability or the knee "giving way."

There’s a recent injury, like a twist or fall.

The cracking is persistent and worsening.
