Why does my elbow have popping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal variant: Its possible its a normal variant, but other causes of popping include cartilage injuries, and ligament insufficiencies leading to instability. They can be quite complex, and difficult to sort out without further information. See your orthopedist for a work up.
