Patient's question:
The child's knee joint makes a popping sound. The child has been experiencing this for some time, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
Common joint internal lesions that cause knee joint popping include congenital discoid meniscus, the thicker the meniscus, the more pronounced the popping; congenital knee dislocation, which causes popping when actively or passively extending 30°–40°; medial and lateral meniscus tears; meniscus calcification; meniscus ossification; osteochondritis dissecans; synovial chondromatosis; joint synovial plica syndrome.Joint external abnormalities that cause knee joint popping include: semitendinosus and semimembranosus tendon subluxation; biceps femoris tendon subluxation.
It is recommended to visit a hospital's orthopedics department for imaging tests to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
