Depends on a number: Of reasons, which your ortho surgeon should be able to explain, after an examination and some xrays. If its making noises it might be an early post traumatic arthritis, which produces pain, swelling, popping sounds. I am unsure what you mean by crumbling bones? See your surgeon. Good luck.
