Joint cracking is a popping sound that occurs as a result of tissues rubbing together abnormally. The sound results from an abnormal interaction between air, fluid, or bone. A common example of joint crepitus is when rough surfaces in a joint rub together and result in a popping and crackling sound or an irregular feeling in your joint. Another example is when air escapes from the sinuses and can be felt in the skin overlying a facial bone fracture.
Joint cracking or Knee crepitus is often the result of arthritis or a previous joint injury. However, a crackling or popping sound and irregular feeling in your joint may also result from the presence of air in the tissues. Knee Crepitus can be due to a wide variety of conditions, and associated symptoms can also vary widely. Soft tissue crepitus, due to air inside body tissues, is a serious type of crepitus. Crepitus due to arthritis or joint problems can be a sign of chronic disease or joint damage.
Often, crepitus is harmless. It happens when air seeps into the soft tissues around the joint (such as the kneecap). When you bend the joint, the air bubbles burst, and you hear a cracking sound. While most crepitus is harmless, some forms of crepitus signal a problem. Causes of painful joint popping may include:
Treatment may not be necessary. If it is, the options will depend on the cause, as outlined above. If crepitus occurs with exercise, the person should not stop exercising but modify the exercise. Precautionary measures include:
If you experience pain, swelling or periods where your joint catches or locks during crepitus, consider speaking with your physician as this could be early signs of arthritis and warrant further evaluation. If the crepitus is getting worse or is accompanied by pain that is bothersome, it’s time to see a doctor. It’s not uncommon for our bodies to make noises when we move. If you experience new joint noises, swelling, redness, numbness, weakness in the limbs or toes/fingers see your doctor. X-rays can show arthritis, MRIs can show soft tissue damage.
