Why does my knee replacement keep popping?

Dr. Mark Galland answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Knee replacement: This is typically from the piece of the implant that allows for the smooth movement between the femur and tibial pieces. If this is painful or you have questions see your surgeon.

Knee click: The click is caused by metal impacting against plastic, a common finding after total knee replacement.
