Can Stitches In Knee After The Accident Cause Noises When Bend The Knee?

I was in a motorcycle accident in June and injured both my knees, in fact I had chunks out of them. 3 stitches in the left and 6 in the right. In October I moved some heavy furniture now I'm having pain in my right knee and now I can hear squishy noises when I bend my knees. Is there a reason to be concerned?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I do not think if only sound is any thing to be worried about. If you are having pain also then only it is a matter of concern. I would suggest you to show it t your doctor who has applied stitches and discuss this case with him. if he says then get a xray also. Most probably it is scar tissue which is causing this sound.
