A member asked:
After a total knee replacement is it normal to hear a sound like cracking knuckles when walking or moving the knee sideways?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: the soft tissues that glide over the implant with movement may make sounds. if there is pain or swelling then evaluation would be reasonable
