The synovial fluid prevents the bone from rubbing against each other such that there is increased friction between bones which may lead to degeneration of the bones, a condition called as arthritis.Ĭoming to the cracking sound, when we move a tight or stiff knee, the space between the bones gets expanded which results in a gap being created between the bones where synovial fluid rushes in to fill the gap. Thus, generally Knee Cracking do not cause any injury nor does it predispose you to any medical conditions, except when you already have a known diagnosis of a degenerating knee joint. The answer to the first question has been delineated in detail below and the answer to the second question is that when there is Knee Cracking it is not the bones that are actually cracking as then it would lead to intense pain and you will not be able to move your knee. The first question is why does this happen and the second question is whether it may cause some harm or injury to the knee joint. There are two questions that come to mind when the knees crack.

When you hear the knee crack it gives a feeling of relaxation and pleasure and makes the knee a bit more flexible. All these things cause the knee joint to become stiff and tight. It is quite common for everyone to hear a cracking sound whenever there is any movement in their knees, especially after getting up from a seated position for a prolonged period of time like in an airplane, going up and down stairs, walking for long distance.
