Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Clicking sound is usual in many after undergoing knee replacement. This will disappear with time. It is due to contact of metal and plastic like your doctor said. Nothing to worry about that. Have follow up with your orthopedic surgeon if you have any discomfort or pain.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
