Having a left knee replacement at 9 am today. Noise I can deal with just want to get back to an active lifestyle. Thanks for the video. As always…you ROCK!
My new knee does click but it is a much nicer sound than the grinding I had before I had the replacement done. I really have learned a lot from you about my new knees. Thanks.
Hello, docs. Post 3 ortho surgeries: 13, 9 and 7 years ago. Both knees and right hip replaced. Occasionally I hear clicks but no pain. My knee doc once told me that I was the "forgotten knee". Not understanding what he meant, he then explained that I don't think about my knees as replacements. It's true; and my success is due to his skill. Oh, and compliance to physical therapy is required. Ortho surgeons are life changers - thank you for the excellent work! Thumbs up for new intro; yes, I like and subscribe to your videos. Howdy from south Florida.
Yep, have had both knees done and clickity clack don't come back. My knees did click without pain about a year after the surgery but eventually went away. I ride my bike a lot nearly everyday and I think this helps a lot. I was worried at first but like I said it eventually went away. Three year on now and doing great. Very thankful to my doctors for this operation.
Guys, I'm 4 weeks post TKR and this very issue has become prevalent for me in the last week. I was beginning to grow concerned about the matter and of course, I'll have the conversation with my surgeon at the 6 week review but on face value, thank you so much for putting my mind largely at ease.
Brad and Paul, thanks for the clear explanation. Clicking began about 2 months Post OP and continues intermittently for the past 18 years, especially when climbing stairs. I do bike for exercise about 12 miles daily, this seems to reduce the clicking noise. I notice the clicking is most predominate, when feeling very tired from exercise, I now rarely notice it.
Mentally and physically preparing for knee surgery next year. I happened upon your channel and I’ve been hooked ever sense. The knowledge I am gaining is extremely valuable for my future surgery. Thank you for all you do!
Hey Docs. I had my left knee replaced about 5 years ago and it has never clicked until a couple weeks ago when I did two back to back Orangetheory fitness workouts. It took about 5 days for it to stop clicking and it's been great ever since. That was also the first time that I had any pain in the knee after the rehabilitation stage. Do you ever talk about how tennis elbow can be repaired and maybe explain why as people get older joint pain never seems to go away. I do Orangetheory fitness classes every other day and my body never seems to recover even if I take a couple days off. Keep up the great informative videos. Love your new introduction. You guys provide a great community service. Your shows give me the confidence to have my second knee replacement done. Your content allows me to ask intelligent questions of my family doc and surgeon. Thank you so much for caring about us, your patients and your profession.
Been watching your videos ever since I decided to schedule the surgery. I’m 8 weeks post-op. You adequately described the possibility of “clicking” with the new knee. “Clunking”, you suggested, might be a cause for concern but you never did elaborate. Mine is “clunking”, any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to share so much valuable information…..you guys are great…!
If the clunk is visible or audible or painful sometimes there can be an organized piece of soft tissue that’s in the way. Thankfully this is very rare and most get better. Good luck
I’m 9 weeks post op from right TKR and as my swelling has started to go down, the clicking has increased. I may be an odd one out, but I find the clicking to be pretty cool, and a reminder that I have metal and plastic now instead of arthritis and grinding in my knee. Thanks for another great video.
To add to the landslide, my knee replacement does click. Although my surgeon said this is normal and not to worry, I greatly appreciate your detailed explanation. Thank you.
3 weeks into my TKR. So far all is quiet on the bionic knee front. I find this topic interesting, I never thought about it or what if the knee makes noise. Makes sense to me.
All's good in knee (9 months post op) and hip (3+years ... on of THE last before the world stopped because of u-know-what)! Knee has a bit of a click and a clunk. Only intermittently for a bit and then I'll forget about it, and it'll be back!! Just wish I'd known about you two before all, as I could have studied up via your incredible videos. Better still, would have asked for a referral (in your capture area). You two are the greatest! Thanks for all the Smiles and Chuckles!
Well, I am 4 weeks into my bionic knee and it makes all kinds of noise. Even my wife can hear it. I was told it is the scar tissue breaking down. Somehow after listening to your video I suspect that is to put my mind at ease and that the sound is not going away anytime soon.
Thanks. Your video saved me a trip back to the surgeon prematurely. I am 8 weeks and it just started. Not so much a noise as what I feel in the knee and through my hand when I have it on the knee. Usually at or near full flexion of 130-degrees. First reaction was, OMG, it’s popping out of a socket!” On second thought, maybe it is! 😀
Greetings, three years ago I had a left knee replacement. Know problems until three months ago. I have a lot more clunking and it’s to painful to ride my stationary bike. The pain is center on the inside of my knee. I’m getting a X-ray hopefully the doctor will locate the problem. Thanks for sharing the information I watch y’all videos often.
Sorry to hear that D. Usually nothing serious but important to get the X-ray and get examined. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My first knee replacement was 17 years ago on my left knee. My right knee replacement was 10 months ago. The right knee clicks and I do not have the movement with the knee that I have with the 17 year knee replacement.
Thanks guys for another informative video and another one to make me smile, I’m due to have my knee replacement in April 😀. I love the new intro by the way. 👍 Phil.
As always, Love the videos. Different topic, what type of surgeon deals with pilonidal cysts? Maybe you would deal in a Baker's cyst? Perhaps a video topic?
Brilliant video as always. I often wonder if you have a crystal ball as you always seem to cover subjects I've been affected by I'd! I'd been noticing after my 1st TKR, (Titnee MK1),'clicking & clunking'. I'd read that could happen & it would ease off. I saw my consultant for my 6 month check inc an x-ray. I mentioned the clicking/clunking. His response, & it's stuck with me, 'that's the one thing old people who've had knee replacements don't worry about'. Point taken & feeling humbled (I'm 55 now - I'm young then!)! He also said it's because I now have gaps between my knee joints, instead of rubbing against the bones, which I haven't had for years. After my 2nd TKR,(Titnee Mk2), Aug last year when the clicking/clunking started I knew I didn't need to worry about it. I get occasional creaking from both knees but like you said if there's no pain don't worry! Titnee Mk2 still a little swollen/sore but usually because I've been more active, not rested it much or used ice. So I go back to basics. RIC, but not the elevation as I was told that's not so good for a TKR. Plus I increase my physio - so essential. Many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
I'm a clicker!! I once went on a walk with my 95 year old neighbor and she stops and says "is that you?!!!" I said "yup that's me. Apparently 95 year old knees don't click but my 57 year old one does!!" 🤣 All is good. No pain besides my knee cap moving to the right after surgery but the pain is bearable when before surgery it was not. Thank you so much for your informative videos. Kindest regards from a clicker
12 weeks after revision TKr.Had medial half joint (oxford biomed)done 8 years ago but the mobile bearing dislocated.There was no clicking after the unicondylar surgery but there is now. I gather that the incidence of bearing dislocation is quite high with UKR oxford joints but did I need REVISION TKR?
Hi David. Often the other two compartments wear away and you can’t revise a UKR to another UKR. Best of luck during recovery. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Mine crunches after my full knee replacement 2 years ago. I just had my hip replaced by the same surgeon and I brought it up to him a couple weeks ago and he said it is scar tissue build up under my knee cap. You can hear the crunching when I straighten my leg out and then bend it, but there is no pain. So he said he's not too concerned about it unless there was pain involved
At 1:04 you say a "clunk might be a problem". My knee 3 yr old knee does occasionally clunk. Could you address "the clunk" in one of your videos? Thank you.
Hi Tom Tom. This has been associated with a large piece of scar tissue living in the notch of the femur. If you are concerned worth a visit to your surgeon. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I had my total knee replacement 2 months ago. I noticed a lot of popping I felt inside my leg when I would bend it. I feel it a lot less now. I don’t hear anything, just feel it. Love you guys ♥️👍🏻
Hi Cheryl 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hi Docs, I enjoy the info on knee replacements. I'm 60 and had my left knee replaced 2 and a half years ago. I originally injured my knee as a very young man and wore the articular cartilage down to the bone by the time I was 24. My knee replacement was my 16th surgery on the one knee. Since the replacement, I've gone back to playing half court basketball and lead a pretty normal life. I'm assuming that one other thing that might contribute to clicking would be the lack of cruciate ligaments (please correct me if I'm wrong) after knee replacement. I know in my case that when the knee is bent, I have some front to back looseness. When it's straight, it's fine. I only get some clicking in the morning after getting out of bed, but after that it's all good.
Thanks for sharing your story. The laxity that you experience in flexion is not uncommon. The crucible ligaments are not there to prevent the lower part of your leg from translating slightly forward. Glad to hear you’re living such an active life. All the best to you. Thank you for watching and subscribing
I'm 2 years into my TKR of my left knee...it clicks and I can feel it, however, it doesn't hurt and it's not a loud click, thank God. Anyway, thanks for the explanation Docs!
You fellows might want to do a video telling people movements that can damage joints so that people can avoid them. For example, my two shoulder replacements were necessitated because I used to do lat pull downs behind the neck at the gym when I was young. Back in the ‘80, all the images on lat machines showed a figure pulling the bar behind he neck so I thought I was doing a safe movement. Now, the image never shows the person pulling the bar down behind the neck as it has been proven dangerous to the shoulder joint. Another dangerous exercise is weighted seated quad extensions on a machine which damage the knees. If I had only known what terrible damage I was doing to my body…
Iam 67 and 10 years on from a double knee replacement and they made noises In time it became less. I can rattle a free hanging leg and there is noises every time. My shoes before the opp would last and wear for a long time. But now they show uneven wear in the heels on both. But hey that's life iam ok with what i got no pain what a blessing.
Thank you, great news that my clicking in my total knee is ok . It certainly clicks more when my body is tired for some reason. Fyi Great info thank you.
The joints we were born with often click as we age, my left shoulder does, as does my right knee. I have to be careful with certain movements but so far so good. No need for the knife and replacement thingy now, but maybe later. Good to know that man made joints make noise too. If the pain gets too much I will see a Doc about repair to an old man, till then exercise and diet will have to suffice. Good video - thanks.
Originally had a complex rt knee replacement. Unfortunately, due to infection of the metalwork, ended with several operations due to abscess reoccurring on the knee. It was decided to remove metalwork & replace with cemented knee! After approx 12 months a second revision of the knee was carried out. The result was successful - APART from the CLICK!! Orthopaedic consultant advised not to worry, & watching your vid now makes me doubly happy!! Other than the “CLICKING “ everything works well. Thanks for your video!👍😉🇬🇧
I had a TKR on October 2020 and mine sounds like rice krispes when I get up from a seated position, or if I straighten it quickly. No pain, just a crackling sound,
Mine clicks I don’t hear it I feel it when I do my bending exercise and sometimes it feels like it needs to crack like a knuckle crack 2 yrs post surgery.
When I do back against the wall squats, fairly slowly lowered myself down they crack their own cascading melody, at least they're fairly in step, in rhythm with each other, pretty awful sound though, not my idea of good audio!
never had my knees replaced but from time too time the knee I ripped the mussel in will click with no pain like snapping your fingers noise .. since then I had neck surgery and lower back surgery ,, been about 10 years on both and when I turn my head I can hear what sounds like when you wad up paper or wrapping paper noise ,, think it's just the neck mussels stretching ..great info if I ever get my knees replaced ..
@@TalkingWithDocs yes I do I had a mishap a few days before Christmas was in my garage on my knees splitting wood for the stove with a hatchet .. well the hatchet slipped out of my hand bounced off my leg 5 stiches later and 2 weeks of having trouble walking so I would not rip the stiches loose. years before that my Doctor said I was accident prone ,, guess she was right ,, good videos you Doctors put out ..
Hi Again Docs.. just wondering if you get a moment to do a tid bit on cement and cement-less knee implants . I have a Stryker cement-less. (I don’t think the spelling is correct 😁.) Look 120k when yesterday was 116k!
I have crunching in my knees and my doc says it is scar tissue. Nothing anyone could have done about it, he says. It doesn't hurt, but he says he can do a clean out. But the scar tissue could come back!
Haven't had a knee replacement yet but I Need one , and rotater cuff redone it lasted 10 years, those are on the right side My ankle needs repaired as well on the left side . I guess I'am in a mess which to get done first. I think I will have my docs just put some grease fitting in and pump them full of crisco shortening . Maybe one day somebody will come up with that idea. The rooster cone stuff didn't work . O well you have to be tuff to get old!! Hope you 2 are having a fine weekend .
No knee replacements, but my knees click and clonk all the time😁. Yes it hurts sometimes, but I just keep going for now. Thanks for the great videos! 👍for the new intro!
Both of my knees have been replaced with Stryker knees. They both click and clunk. My surgeon warned me about it before both surgeries and I'm fine with it.
Yep, at first no clicking. I’m now 5 weeks into my new knee and it definitely clicks. My worst problem is my other knee is so bad that now it hurts even more. That’s next to be replaced.
One year after my TKR and my knee clicks and is slightly uncomfortable, but I can do all the activities I had hoped I could do; softball, bowling, and pickleball.
14 weeks post op on patella femural replacement on one knee. Less than 2 weeks post op on the other knee. I've got some clicking. And just a few days ago, my first knee has started to squeak. Plastic on back of knee cap, metal on femur. Doctor told me that was likely as swelling goes down. To me, it sounds like a distant bird chirp. Really weirded out my nieces when I had them listen to it.
I just had surgery three months ago on my left knee where I had a total knee replacement. I now have a click when I walk. It’s noticeable by me but when I told my wife about it she listened as I walked and said she didn’t hear anything. It of course doesn’t hurt just it was something I wasn’t told about before surgery. Not that if I was told prior to surgery it would’ve stopped me from having the surgery. When I mentioned the click to my surgeon he said it was normal and over the next 6 months to a year I’ll get use to it. He said after a year I probably won’t even notice any longer. Within a week post surgery I was riding my recumbent etrike approximately 1 mile and by two weeks I was riding it 6+ miles. Only issue I had was swelling but I iced the knee after exercising it also elevated it which helped tremendously with the swelling. 3 months post surgery, I’m now up to 15-16 miles on my recumbent etrike. My surgeon said I was in the 2-5% of people returning to activities that soon post surgery. He said most people take longer to return the activities I’m able to do. I’m very pleased with my knee replacement and only wish I would’ve done it 6 months sooner. 😊
I had a knee replacement 2.5 years ago. My knee is often painful. It sometimes gives way. It OFTEN goes into spasms and locks causing total loss of movement, not only in my leg but my entire body, due to the agony. I have contacted my doctor and have had an X-ray, which according to the medics show nothing is wrong, Tell that to my knee……..
I am not an orthopedic surgeon but I would highly recommend a second opinion soon-before you hurt yourself. I have a TKR in my right knee and have heard all kinds of horror stories of how people have had to have their replacements fixed or completely replaced.
Hi Docs I love the new intro although I miss that great music from the other one lol. I had both my knees done last year one in August and one in December and just started to notice the clicking but it dont hurt and dont bother me at all and my surgeon did tell me it would happen so wasn't suprised when it started. I love your videos and of course both of you ❤❤ and your both so smart and informative and I know you are helping so many people with your videos so please keep up the great work also I'm subscribed so I wont miss any of your videos. Thank you so much for doing them. Hugs from Maria from the USA. PS I love Canada and have family in New Minas NS and Wolfvile NS
Hey docs question the plateau is held together with a plate and screws that was put in my leg and June of 21 is it normal for my side of my leg to hurt where the plate was installed I do have an appointment for next Thursday with my sports orthopedic bone specialist what causes the side pain on my leg where they installed the plate I have no feeling on the outside of my skin due to the surgery it's numb why is the side of my leg hurting nowWould thank you for your info ❤️👍
Hi Willard. Often the soft tissues rubbing on the plate cause pain. It is quite common. Sometimes removing the plate can help but not always. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My left TKR (4 years ago now) clicked from day 2. 1. Is the difference between a 'click' and a 'clunk' well defined? 2. When a TKR finally wears out (10-15 years?) will we all be in a wheelchair?
Hi David. It can be subtle but a clunk is felt more. A click you hear. After it wears out often we can revise it and keep you moving. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I am a avid cyclist 73 and love riding the bike nearly every day , on the road or in the gym. My question is I need a full knee replacement & my appointment is looming , I currently have 90 degree bend & can just manage the bike, do you think I will be able to ride the bike after the op, I also swim a mile most mornings , I think I will be a unhappy bubbly if I don't make it back.☹️
Hi Juli. Very thoughtful question. The biggest predictor of range of motion after surgery his range of motion before surgery. Our hopes are always that we can get you to where you were and hopefully a little bit more. There’s no guarantee however. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I use to walk behind my brother with two knee replacements, and snap my fingers, or click my tongue! He would say" Did you hear my knees??!!" I would say " Ouu yeah, I think they are malfunctioning!!" 🤣🤣 Told him he would need two more surgeries!!😂😂😂 Took him two months to figure out his little sister was barbing him out!!! No wonder Mom liked him better!!!😝😂 In truth his replacements were very quiet.
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you for your response. I will make plans to see my Doc although I'm happy with him he is one of those doctors that spend 3 minutes with his patients.
Im 57 years old now i was 53 when i had my knees replaced its been 4 years and now i noticed im having a lot of discomfort in my knees like more pain and cracking it kinda hurts some days so what do you i should do see my Dr about it
I have something probably a ligament on the medial aspect of my right knee replacement that gets “caught” and my knee feels frozen, have to help my leg move and hurts when it snaps back in place, then the pain goes away. After a year my doc laughed and said at least it doesn’t hurt like before, at that time it only did this once a month. Now going on three years it happens almost every day sometimes more than once. Why is this happening?
Hi Kendra. Hard to say. May be an organized band of scar tissue that is slipping past the implant. Trying a topical may help. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thanks for your videos. They are very informative. I had my left TKR done almost 8 months ago and started water skiing again after 6 months with no issues other than getting my leg stronger. I have noticed more clicking when I walk though but it sounds like it’s normal since there is no pain.
I am 7 weeks post total knee replacement as of Feb 25 2022. I have no problem squatting or climbing stairs normally. Still a bit sore coming down. I am 130degree flex and 0 straight. How long should I wait before going back to downhill skiing, green and blue runs only
Hi guys I Love your videos ❤️. I have 2 total knee replacements and a hip. Mine don't click but one grinds. I was told also not to worry about it. The other knee and hip I don't even know I have them. I'm from Lunenburg Nova Scotia but living in Edmonton Alberta.
Huh? Ok no one's saying it so I will! The French were here 1st and picked the best place to live, Québec! Ooohhh my husband's euro relatives (yes he's born here/I'm not that nuts) hate to hear that as, probably, you do too! Sort of like calling Winnepeg, Winterpeg I guess!
I have two total shoulders (9/18/2020 left, and 1/29/2021 right). The right one clicks. The left doesn’t. It’s scared me a bit, as I’ve wondered if I’m harming the right implant in some way.
I had a total knee replacement 4 years ago but never had a popping sound. But I just had a total knee replacement surgery on my right knee in September. And it pops constantly and it hurts very bad. I've told my surgeon and he said it was normal
The popping is not uncommon but if it is painful that is a bit different. Sometimes it will improve with time. If it doesn’t go back. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I click! i am 6 months post op. It started at 2 month's. And I cried! I had all this pain for nothing I thought. I did just lose my husband a few months before the replacement. Probably part of being so upset. My right knee replacement in March 1 , is was backed up from me getting covid 6 weeks ago. But I am dreading it because it hurts so bad. But without it I won't get my life back. I wish I was told about the clicking. It really upset me that something was wrong. I have no pain in that knee now. I feel it click I can't hear it.
Hi Kim so so sorry for your loss. It must be really difficult coping with all this on your own. But hang in there, it's worth it in the end. Try going back as if you've just come out of hospital after having your replacement. Ice, physio & rest. Little & often. Completing your physio, before & after your op, is so important to building up the muscles either side of your new knee to provide the support to it & encourage flexibility Remember your new knee won't be quite as your original one. Twisting etc. I haven't been able to do a proper Pedicure since my new knees. So I now treat myself to a monthly luxury Pedicure. Such a shame that I have to endure this pampering!!!!!! Hahaha! Anyway deserve it after the pain you have to go through in getting TKR's done! I didn't know about the clicking/clunking until after my op & it started. I was worried too. But great videos by these amazing docs are reassuring. Noises are ok. It will be painful but is so worth it in the end. Take care sending hugs from the UK 🇬🇧
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you so much for taking time to even reply. I know your busy! You're the best / most informative channel for medical, I've learned so much, and your personalities work so good together.

Well, I am 4 weeks into my bionic knee and it makes all kinds of noise. Even my wife can hear it. I was told it is the scar tissue breaking down. Somehow after listening to your video I suspect that is to put my mind at ease and that the sound is not going away anytime soon.
Probably not Bryan but it’s all good. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thanks. Your video saved me a trip back to the surgeon prematurely. I am 8 weeks and it just started. Not so much a noise as what I feel in the knee and through my hand when I have it on the knee. Usually at or near full flexion of 130-degrees. First reaction was, OMG, it’s popping out of a socket!” On second thought, maybe it is! 😀
Greetings, three years ago I had a left knee replacement. Know problems until three months ago. I have a lot more clunking and it’s to painful to ride my stationary bike. The pain is center on the inside of my knee.
I’m getting a X-ray hopefully the doctor will locate the problem. Thanks for sharing the information I watch y’all videos often.
Sorry to hear that D. Usually nothing serious but important to get the X-ray and get examined. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My first knee replacement was 17 years ago on my left knee. My right knee replacement was 10 months ago. The right knee clicks and I do not have the movement with the knee that I have with the 17 year knee replacement.

As always, Love the videos. Different topic, what type of surgeon deals with pilonidal cysts? Maybe you would deal in a Baker's cyst? Perhaps a video topic?
Hi Robert. General surgeon would do that. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I've a cyst but physio therapists just brush them off! Cysts are ugly and the word Baker's makes it even uglier!
Brilliant video as always. I often wonder if you have a crystal ball as you always seem to cover subjects I've been affected by I'd! I'd been noticing after my 1st TKR, (Titnee MK1),'clicking & clunking'. I'd read that could happen & it would ease off. I saw my consultant for my 6 month check inc an x-ray. I mentioned the clicking/clunking. His response, & it's stuck with me, 'that's the one thing old people who've had knee replacements don't worry about'. Point taken & feeling humbled (I'm 55 now - I'm young then!)! He also said it's because I now have gaps between my knee joints, instead of rubbing against the bones, which I haven't had for years. After my 2nd TKR,(Titnee Mk2), Aug last year when the clicking/clunking started I knew I didn't need to worry about it. I get occasional creaking from both knees but like you said if there's no pain don't worry! Titnee Mk2 still a little swollen/sore but usually because I've been more active, not rested it much or used ice. So I go back to basics. RIC, but not the elevation as I was told that's not so good for a TKR. Plus I increase my physio - so essential. Many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧

I'm a clicker!! I once went on a walk with my 95 year old neighbor and she stops and says "is that you?!!!" I said "yup that's me. Apparently 95 year old knees don't click but my 57 year old one does!!" 🤣 All is good. No pain besides my knee cap moving to the right after surgery but the pain is bearable when before surgery it was not. Thank you so much for your informative videos. Kindest regards from a clicker

12 weeks after revision TKr.Had medial half joint (oxford biomed)done 8 years ago but the mobile bearing dislocated.There was no clicking after the unicondylar surgery but there is now. I gather that the incidence of bearing dislocation is quite high with UKR oxford joints but did I need REVISION TKR?

Mine crunches after my full knee replacement 2 years ago. I just had my hip replaced by the same surgeon and I brought it up to him a couple weeks ago and he said it is scar tissue build up under my knee cap. You can hear the crunching when I straighten my leg out and then bend it, but there is no pain. So he said he's not too concerned about it unless there was pain involved

Hi Docs, I enjoy the info on knee replacements. I'm 60 and had my left knee replaced 2 and a half years ago. I originally injured my knee as a very young man and wore the articular cartilage down to the bone by the time I was 24. My knee replacement was my 16th surgery on the one knee. Since the replacement, I've gone back to playing half court basketball and lead a pretty normal life. I'm assuming that one other thing that might contribute to clicking would be the lack of cruciate ligaments (please correct me if I'm wrong) after knee replacement. I know in my case that when the knee is bent, I have some front to back looseness. When it's straight, it's fine. I only get some clicking in the morning after getting out of bed, but after that it's all good.
Thanks for sharing your story. The laxity that you experience in flexion is not uncommon. The crucible ligaments are not there to prevent the lower part of your leg from translating slightly forward. Glad to hear you’re living such an active life. All the best to you. Thank you for watching and subscribing

You fellows might want to do a video telling people movements that can damage joints so that people can avoid them. For example, my two shoulder replacements were necessitated because I used to do lat pull downs behind the neck at the gym when I was young. Back in the ‘80, all the images on lat machines showed a figure pulling the bar behind he neck so I thought I was doing a safe movement. Now, the image never shows the person pulling the bar down behind the neck as it has been proven dangerous to the shoulder joint. Another dangerous exercise is weighted seated quad extensions on a machine which damage the knees. If I had only known what terrible damage I was doing to my body…
Hi Matteo. Good advice. We hate that leg extension machine. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My PT has me sit at a seated weight machine with 10 lb. weights and extend my leg out and back. Is that the machine you mean? Should I stop using it??
Iam 67 and 10 years on from a double knee replacement and they made noises
In time it became less.
I can rattle a free hanging leg and there is noises every time.
My shoes before the opp would last and wear for a long time.
But now they show uneven wear in the heels on both. But hey that's life iam ok with what i got no pain what a blessing.

The joints we were born with often click as we age, my left shoulder does, as does my right knee. I have to be careful with certain movements but so far so good. No need for the knife and replacement thingy now, but maybe later. Good to know that man made joints make noise too. If the pain gets too much I will see a Doc about repair to an old man, till then exercise and diet will have to suffice. Good video - thanks.
Welcome James. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Originally had a complex rt knee replacement. Unfortunately, due to infection of the metalwork, ended with several operations due to abscess reoccurring on the knee. It was decided to remove metalwork & replace with cemented knee! After approx 12 months a second revision of the knee was carried out. The result was successful - APART from the CLICK!!
Orthopaedic consultant advised not to worry, & watching your vid now makes me doubly happy!! Other than the “CLICKING “ everything works well.
Thanks for your video!👍😉🇬🇧

Both of my knees have been replaced with Stryker knees. They both click and clunk. My surgeon warned me about it before both surgeries and I'm fine with it.
Nice Carol. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Yep, at first no clicking. I’m now 5 weeks into my new knee and it definitely clicks. My worst problem is my other knee is so bad that now it hurts even more. That’s next to be replaced.
One year after my TKR and my knee clicks and is slightly uncomfortable, but I can do all the activities I had hoped I could do; softball, bowling, and pickleball.
14 weeks post op on patella femural replacement on one knee. Less than 2 weeks post op on the other knee. I've got some clicking. And just a few days ago, my first knee has started to squeak. Plastic on back of knee cap, metal on femur. Doctor told me that was likely as swelling goes down. To me, it sounds like a distant bird chirp. Really weirded out my nieces when I had them listen to it.
I just had surgery three months ago on my left knee where I had a total knee replacement. I now have a click when I walk. It’s noticeable by me but when I told my wife about it she listened as I walked and said she didn’t hear anything. It of course doesn’t hurt just it was something I wasn’t told about before surgery. Not that if I was told prior to surgery it would’ve stopped me from having the surgery. When I mentioned the click to my surgeon he said it was normal and over the next 6 months to a year I’ll get use to it. He said after a year I probably won’t even notice any longer.
Within a week post surgery I was riding my recumbent etrike approximately 1 mile and by two weeks I was riding it 6+ miles. Only issue I had was swelling but I iced the knee after exercising it also elevated it which helped tremendously with the swelling. 3 months post surgery, I’m now up to 15-16 miles on my recumbent etrike. My surgeon said I was in the 2-5% of people returning to activities that soon post surgery. He said most people take longer to return the activities I’m able to do. I’m very pleased with my knee replacement and only wish I would’ve done it 6 months sooner. 😊

I had a knee replacement 2.5 years ago. My knee is often painful. It sometimes gives way. It OFTEN goes into spasms and locks causing total loss of movement, not only in my leg but my entire body, due to the agony. I have contacted my doctor and have had an X-ray, which according to the medics show nothing is wrong, Tell that to my knee……..
I am not an orthopedic surgeon but I would highly recommend a second opinion soon-before you hurt yourself. I have a TKR in my right knee and have heard all kinds of horror stories of how people have had to have their replacements fixed or completely replaced.

Hi Docs I love the new intro although I miss that great music from the other one lol.

Hey docs question the plateau is held together with a plate and screws that was put in my leg and June of 21 is it normal for my side of my leg to hurt where the plate was installed I do have an appointment for next Thursday with my sports orthopedic bone specialist what causes the side pain on my leg where they installed the plate I have no feeling on the outside of my skin due to the surgery it's numb why is the side of my leg hurting nowWould thank you for your info ❤️👍

My left TKR (4 years ago now) clicked from day 2.
1. Is the difference between a 'click' and a 'clunk' well defined?
2. When a TKR finally wears out (10-15 years?) will we all be in a wheelchair?
Hi David. It can be subtle but a clunk is felt more. A click you hear. After it wears out often we can revise it and keep you moving. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I am a avid cyclist 73 and love riding the bike nearly every day , on the road or in the gym.
My question is I need a full knee replacement & my appointment is looming , I currently have 90 degree bend & can just manage the bike, do you think I will be able to ride the bike after the op,
I also swim a mile most mornings , I think I will be a unhappy bubbly if I don't make it back.☹️

I use to walk behind my brother with two knee replacements, and snap my fingers, or click my tongue! He would say" Did you hear my knees??!!"

Is it common to get pes anserine soreness on the medial side of the knee one year after a knee replacement?
It is not uncommon.
Im 57 years old now i was 53 when i had my knees replaced its been 4 years and now i noticed im having a lot of discomfort in my knees like more pain and cracking it kinda hurts some days so what do you i should do see my Dr about it
Hi Ray. Wouldn’t hurt. Some patients go back to Physio. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have something probably a ligament on the medial aspect of my right knee replacement that gets “caught” and my knee feels frozen, have to help my leg move and hurts when it snaps back in place, then the pain goes away. After a year my doc laughed and said at least it doesn’t hurt like before, at that time it only did this once a month. Now going on three years it happens almost every day sometimes more than once. Why is this happening?
Hi Kendra. Hard to say. May be an organized band of scar tissue that is slipping past the implant. Trying a topical may help. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Six months post knr. Both are clinking and clumping . No pain just anoying his hell. Does it ever go away?
It may not.
Thanks for your videos. They are very informative. I had my left TKR done almost 8 months ago and started water skiing again after 6 months with no issues other than getting my leg stronger. I have noticed more clicking when I walk though but it sounds like it’s normal since there is no pain.

I click! i am 6 months post op. It started at 2 month's. And I cried! I had all this pain for nothing I thought. I did just lose my husband a few months before the replacement. Probably part of being so upset. My right knee replacement in March 1 , is was backed up from me getting covid 6 weeks ago. But I am dreading it because it hurts so bad. But without it I won't get my life back. I wish I was told about the clicking. It really upset me that something was wrong. I have no pain in that knee now. I feel it click I can't hear it.
Hi Kim. So sorry to hear about your husband. Glad that you can now feel ok about your click. All the best. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi Kim so so sorry for your loss. It must be really difficult coping with all this on your own. But hang in there, it's worth it in the end. Try going back as if you've just come out of hospital after having your replacement. Ice, physio & rest. Little & often. Completing your physio, before & after your op, is so important to building up the muscles either side of your new knee to provide the support to it & encourage flexibility Remember your new knee won't be quite as your original one. Twisting etc. I haven't been able to do a proper Pedicure since my new knees. So I now treat myself to a monthly luxury Pedicure. Such a shame that I have to endure this pampering!!!!!! Hahaha! Anyway deserve it after the pain you have to go through in getting TKR's done! I didn't know about the clicking/clunking until after my op & it started. I was worried too. But great videos by these amazing docs are reassuring. Noises are ok. It will be painful but is so worth it in the end. Take care sending hugs from the UK 🇬🇧
