Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask: How long does it take for joint popping to heal? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Infant ligaments are relatively weak, the joint sockets are shallow, the ligaments around the joints are relatively loose, and the bone tissue is also soft, with cartilage at the ends of long bones. When the main joints perform flexion and extension movements, a similar "clicking sound" may occur. As the child grows older, the ligaments become stronger, and the muscles also develop, causing this joint clicking sound to gradually disappear. Even in some adults, if joint movements are abnormal, clicking sounds may still occur, such as the crisp clicking sound when squeezing finger joints. If there are no special symptoms, it is completely a normal phenomenon.
