Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Why do my knees pop every time I bend them? I m only 16 and my knees have always popped. I don t usually get pain but for awhile now I have had to pop it or try to when to get the pain to go away. So either way I might have pain. Pain if I don t pop it and pain if I do.
Is it kneecap which is popping out? That is very serious issue. It is called habitual dislocation of patella. It may be because of various causes like laxity, high riding patella, femoral condyle dysplasia etc and treatment depends upon cause behind it, Do you have any x rays or MRI? Where do you live?
