Is crepitus in ankle something to worry about?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Is there pain?: Crepitus can be a scary thing at first, but if it's the only symptom in the ankle, you should be fine. If you developed increasing pain with range of motion, weight bearing, etc, then yes, it is something to get checked out.

Crepitus : Should not be scared if not painful. If it is painful need x-ray and possible mri. It's possible to fix but only i'd symptomatic.
