Rattling of the knee from leg exercises may be caused by physiologic popping, chondromalacia patella, osteoarthritis, and so on. The cause of the disease is different, the treatment method is different. Common treatment methods include general treatment, drug treatment, physical therapy and so on.
1. Physiological popping: If there is no pain or discomfort when the knee pops, it is often due to the rupture of air bubbles in the joint with movement, which is a normal phenomenon. Warming up well before exercise can reduce knee popping.
2. Chondromalacia patella: patients with chondromalacia patella, due to the degeneration of the cartilage of the patellar joint surface, the joint surface is not flat. When exercising, the patella slides poorly and rubs against the femur, which will lead to knee popping and even pain and swelling. Physical therapy such as heat therapy and ultrashort wave can be used to promote blood circulation and relieve pain symptoms. Cartilage protectants such as glucosamine can be used as prescribed by the doctor.
3. Osteoarthritis: Patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint have degeneration of the knee joint, wear and tear of the articular cartilage, and poor sliding of the articular surface, resulting in popping of the knee joint, which may be accompanied by pain in severe cases. Chondroprotective agents such as glucosamine can be used to slow down cartilage degeneration. Physical methods such as infrared therapy and infrared irradiation can be used to promote local blood circulation.
In addition, knee ringing sound when practicing legs may also be caused by meniscus injury, calcification of knee ligament, knee free body and knee synovial folds syndrome and other diseases. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time, the doctor diagnosed the cause of the disease and give targeted treatment.
