Hi
thanks for your reply to my question regarding the clunk in my knee joint replacement, it set my mind at ease Thanks once again.
Hi,
Little amount of joint mobility noise does occur after a joint replacement as most of the times its made of metal. If you have no pain, local rise of temperature or mobility problems, you could wait for your regular appointment.
It's fairly common to hear a clunk in an artificial knee. It depends on what system your surgeon used but the surgeon I used to work for used a system that placed what looked like a plastic button on the underside of the patella. This is what caused the clunking/clicking in the knee of his patient's on occasion. If it worries you enough, you can always call your surgeon's nurse and talk to them about it, and if you need a sooner appt, they can make arrangements for that for you. Best of luck!
