jointsguruDid you have ACL surgery in your knee and after that are you getting clicking sound from in there? Or you didn’t have any surgery and still getting sound or your knees getting locked? If yes, then watch this video till end and your problem of clicking sound coming will be solved completely. Hello friends, Welcome again in this video giving information about various shoulder and knee diseases. Friends, a lot of people keep asking me in the comment section. And those who have joined my Whatsapp ACL Health program, they also repeatedly ask me that we get a clicking sound from our knees…Is this due to some problem? Is it that some washer or screw is stuck in the knee because of which such sound is coming. Is there something to worry? Or how this can be treated? Questions like these are asked time and again. I am going to address this problem today. I will divide this video in 2 parts, friends. 1st for those who did not have surgery, but still having this clicking sound from knees spontaneously. And 2nd for those, who have had ACL surgery and getting clicking sound from knees. So, friends, the sound that you get from the knees…Initially, if you have not had an operation or got hurt and suddenly started getting clicking sound from knees, this cannot be considered as any big disease. Friends, if there is clicking sound in the knees, then mostly the reason is either…Have a look…I have a model of a knee. The knee cap…The knee cap bone which in normal language is also called Pali.
This bone starts getting to touch the upper bone and because of that clicking sound comes. Other than that, clicking sound can also come due to the movement of neighbouring tendons. If this sound comes, but there are no other symptoms like pain in legs or locking of legs and no other problem except that while standing up, or climbing stairs, while doing squats or lunges exercise if clicking sound comes, you can completely ignore it…There is no need for you to worry about this..2nd people are those who get this clicking sound and along with that get intense pain. The pain that they get can be due to damage in the cartilage or there is some lose body in their leg or some piece of cartilage is getting stuck or it may also happen because of Meniscus tear. So, along with the clicking sound, if there is locking in the legs or there in intense pain, then it cannot be ignored. In such situation, what we have to do is consult an Orthopaedic Knee Specialist and you have to get your X-Ray and MRI done. Most of the time, if it’s a lose body, it is detected in an X-Ray. Otherwise, we need to get MRI done. Looking at the MRI, the doctor can tell that the clicking sound was due to Meniscus or the cartilage damage or Chondromalacia. Which of these problems is the reason for the clicking sound, can be diagnosed through MRI. So, If, I repeat everything in short. If you are getting clicking sound, but no other symptom like pain or locking of legs, then you can ignore it. If you are having pain and locking along with the clicking sound and if you face difficulty while sitting or getting up then you have to get your MRI done. If you are not able to get any Doctor’s help around you then you can join the Whatsapp ACL Health Program by paying the fees, on below mentioned numbers you can discuss this problem with me too. Friends, now let’s get back to our favourite topic. You have got ACL surgery done and 1.5 – 2 months have passed.
You have started doing the exercises shown by the doctor, and started getting the clicking sound. Is this abnormal? Many people think that if clicking sound is coming, it’s due to breaking of ligament or that something is stuck. Friends, nothing like that. After a knee ACL surgery from 1.5 to 5/6 months you can have clicking sounds coming from knee. There is no need to worry about any such sound. You need to continue your exercise. Most of the time, this sound comes due to V Quadriceps muscles. If our thigh muscles are weak, then because of that the knee cap touches the femur bone due to that this sound starts getting created. So, as soon as we start working on our quadriceps muscles, this sound will stop coming. Those who do not know how to strengthen the quadriceps muscles can join us through our Whatsapp ACL Health Program and get all the exercises… with which you can strengthen your quadriceps muscles, sitting at home. Secondly, friends, many people tell me that when they have started bending their knees after ACL surgery. We feel that something is stuck in the knees and the knee is not bending completely. So, is it that the screw or washer of ACL is stuck there? Many people, who have got their surgery done from elsewhere also call me to say that they feel something is stuck in the knees. Friends, there is nothing to fear about here. At the most you can do is, get your knee X-Ray done and we will come to know whether the implants are positioned properly or not if implants are in correct positions which means whatever is getting stuck in the knee is basically the structure of ACL. Means, you might get such a feeling due the ACL graft which we have put. But, there is no need to get scared about it. You can follow your routine exercises. If your leg gets stuck and you have extreme pain even while resting and the pain is not going away, even after 3/4 or 5 months then you have to immediately contact the doctor with whom you are getting treated. As I told you, this can happen due to Meniscus or cartilage damage. We can ignore locking till 2-3 months, but is not correct to ignore it for a longer time and whenever you have locking, you should always get ACL knee X-ray done on a safer side. So, friends, this was the information on how to address clicking sound and locking in the knees in ACL. Many people get scared and get their MRI also done. Friends, I would recommend that after ACL surgery, till 1 year, there is no use of MRI until your doctor suggests. My personal experience is that from 6 months to 1 year, ACL is seen as broken in MRI which unnecessary increases your anxiety and worries. So, consult your doctor if such sound is coming after the surgery. If you are not able to get help from there then you can join our Whatsapp ACL Health Program on below mentioned numbers where we will give you complete information against a set fees. You can share your X-rays, get physiotherapy videos from us. We will try to answer any question related to knees, 24/7. People also contact me that they want to get surgery done by me. What will be the charges, and how they can come? Friends, we have a hospital in Jaipur called, Advance Orthopaedic and Sports Injury Hospital. I also work in Apollo Hospital, Jaipur
so that the people who want to go for mediclaim, can get it done in Apollo Hospital.
You can consider our charges, quite affordable, in comparison with charges of any other Hospital in India. I get calls from people saying that they got their ACL surgery done by paying 1-2 lacs. Charges at our place is less than half of these. In spite of that, always the best quality imported implant is used. We never compromise on the implant and its price. And this is the reason why our success rate is always 100%.
Since last 15 years we have been consistently using only biological implants and bio screws which have time and tested techniques and always brought the best results.
Friends, I do not consider experimental surgeries or new techniques in surgeries correct. We should use that technique, which has been giving good results since 15 years so that you also get the same results, which are great since the beginning. There is always a risk in the new techniques that if any problem arises, then we have to find a treatment for it. It’s better to use the technique which is successful since years and has been beneficial to lacs and crores of people. Apart from this, If you have any confusion regarding ACL, you can contact us through WhatsApp on the below mentioned numbers and get information from us. Thanks Friends…
