Why do children's knees make cracking sounds? Causes of cracking knees

Children's knee joints may make parents worry. When faced with this situation, parents need to consider whether the noise is caused by abnormal sliding of the tendon near the knee. They should also pay close attention to the child's own developmental problems.

(1) The popping sound may be caused by abnormal sliding of the tendon next to the baby's right knee joint. Generally speaking, babies are young and their body functions are not fully developed, especially newborn babies. If adults use a little force during care, it may cause the child's joints to dislocate. Especially when squeezing the child's right knee joint, if the force is not properly controlled, it may cause the tendon next to the right knee joint to slide abnormally, causing noise. This requires parents to pay a little more attention during the care process.

(2) This is closely related to the baby's own incomplete development. Generally, the fat pad in the baby's knee joint is more likely to make noise during activities, especially during activities where it can be clearly heard. There is no need to worry too much about this. Just wait for the baby to grow up slowly and the joints, bones and other aspects will be fully developed.

(3) Some children have loose ligaments. The younger the child, the more likely this problem is. Generally speaking, it is more common in children between three months and one year old, but not all children have this problem. When this happens, parents should try to move the joint, especially the right knee joint, to avoid accidents. Wait until the baby matures, especially when the ligaments are more fully developed, before taking better actions. If such noises occur during infancy and childhood, there is no need to worry too much, especially no need to seek medical attention, because this is a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease. If the baby does not feel excessive pain or is in a bad condition during the activity, you can let the child move appropriately.
