What Causes Cracking Sensation In The Joint Post Capsuotomy?
Hello, I had capsuotomy for contracture and Duvries surgery. Five weeks later, it hurts somewhat. What bothers most is a funny cracking sensation of the joint (big toe). Should I worry? I m exercising, as recommended, by crunching my toes and trying to lift (my heels off the floor). Thanks. Rosie

Hello,
Cracking of toes is not a matter of concern. Your history is quiet insufficient as gou didn't mentioned in which you have duvries surgery. Also you didnt told about any other disease that you are suffering from.
If that cracking sound is from the toe which had undergone duvries it is not a concern as the sole purpose of duvries is to cortect deformity and not provide a normal toe,due to lack of proper joint toe may produce cracking sound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
