Not much: If this is a life-long pattern, then you may have an abnormality of the inside of your knee such as a mis-shapen or torn meniscus or a small bone fragment floating in the knee joint. A careful exam by an orthopedic surgeon or physiatrist could make the diagnosis. Take care of this now and save your joint fro abnormal wear and tear.
