Clicking In Knee, Undergone Total Knee Replacement Surgery. Scar Tissue? Remedy?
I had a total knee replacement 2 1/2 months ago and I did everything I was suppose to do. However I have this clicking in my knee and I don't think I should have it. I'm walking good and did my physical therapy, my doctor said it could be scar tissue. I don't want the clicking, didnt' have it the day I went into surgery and don't want it now. Is there anything I can do to stop it?
Based on the description of symptoms, I suspect that it could be due to Patellar clunk syndrome. This implies that a bunch of synovial tissue will be catching in between the prosthetic components, which produces clicking sounds while performing knee movements.
To resolve this problem, you have to undergo an Arthroscopic debridement and there is nothing you can do on your own to stop it .
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
