Chondromalacia: There are different potential causes of popping of the knee. Patellar chondromalacia, or irregular cartilage surface of the kneecap is a common cause. Other possilibities include a loose body in the knee, a torn meniscal cartilage, or arthritis. Orthopaedic cons ult may be necessary to assist in treatment.

Many possibilities: Sound coming from the knee could be due to tendon, cartilage, meniscus, or bone abnormalities. Have it evaluated by your orthopedist and find out why it is making that sound.
