A member asked:

Help please! my knee is catching and popping after knee surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kneecap tracking.: It may be related to quad muscle shutdown, following surgery, which can alter the tracking of your kneecap, and give you the "popping" that you're feeling. Check with your surgeon to see if that's the case. If so, it should get better with physical therapy.
