I had surgery 5 wks ago. Last nite I was getting into bad & my knee popped w/ sharp pain. Sounded like when you crack your knuckles in hand. It has done this couple of times now with swelling & more sore. Should I be worried about failed microfracture? I wished I was given a more stable brace.

    If you had partial or TKR or meniscus surgery, you need to contact your doctor first thing tomorrow. You need to be more specific on the kind of knee surgery as you don’t wear a brace in America with the above knee surgery.  No matter what, contact your doctor.

    Lateral femur condyle of the knee. The blog can’t help with a movement problem of this type. As a former PA, I would be calling the doctor and get in immediately.
