A member asked:

Knee producing cracking sound when bent or put pressure on. no pain but its like cartilage cracking sound so i cant climb the stairs worried it will break or something. what could it be? i didnt have any injury to this knee prior to this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knee injury ?'s: A "cracking sound" after trauma/fall, with knee bending or external pressure may arise from a fractured patella ("knee cap"). While this is not an emergency, a simple x-ray or CT scan will determine the probably diagnosis. See an orthopedic physician for treatment.
