Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Feeling a crunching or hearing a popping sound when bending the knee, such as when bending down into a squat, are signs that cartilage has worn away and is not protecting the bones from friction.It is a feature of knee osteoarthritis.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
