On physical examination, there may occasionally be a visible/palpable effusion, but stability of the knee (as described earlier) will be intact on testing. Crepitus is a common finding, but does not necessarily relate to the degree of OA present. The range of motion of the knee may be redu...
so the bones cannot slide as easily in the joint as they normally do. Knee crepitus typically happens when the knee is bent, such as when you are squatting, going up or down stairs, or rising from a chair.
Feeling or hearing crunching or popping when bending the knee, such as when bending down into a squat, are signs of knee joint friction. The medical term for this symptom is crepitus. (Crepitus by itself without other symptoms is not a cause for concern.) SeeCrepitus in the Knee Buckling ...
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) may appear as knee instability, restrictions in ROM, crepitus, pain with loading activities, or buckling of the leg with transfers and ambulation. Common interventions to manage OA include dynamic strengthening exercises (both open and closed chain exercises), core stability...
Some people also experiencecrepitus, where they feel, or sometimes even hear, a cracking, grinding or popping sensation, when they move their knee. In severe cases of patellofemoral arthritis, when there is bone rubbing on bone, people may experience stiffness or the kneecap may get momentarily...
While crepitus may often be an early sign of joint degeneration, it doesn't guarantee you'll develop osteoarthritis. Not everyone with knee noise develops OA, and plenty of peoplewithoutjoint noises do. Other Causes of Knee Sounds If you notice occasional creaks and you don't have other knee...

The main symptoms are joint pain, stiffness, dysfunction, instability, deformity, swelling, and crepitus. Those symptoms can be presented early in an athlete career and lead to sport dismissal. The etiology of osteoarthritis is multifactorial and not fully understood. ...
The most compelling arguments against the diagnosis of osteoarthritis are two or fewer of the characteristic findings (LR = 0.1), morning stiffness lasting greater than 30 minutes (LR = 0.2), and absence of crepitus (LR = 0.2). The presence of valgus deformity is unhelpful (LR not ...
