A member asked:
What to do if i could pop my knee and it makes a loud pop on command and without pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much to do.: The popping is probably from the tracking of your kneecap on the thigh bone. As long as there's no pain, generally nothing is done, from a surgical standpoint. You may want to try physical therapy, which may reduce or eliminate the popping.
