Have you had Arthroscopic or open debridement of scar tissue? These work for some but if you are prone to excessive scarring, it could backfire in your and make it worse with even more scar tissue. I was recommended to have a revision to a hinged knee replacement. In this procedure, they remove your tendons and the hinge takes on the function of the tendons, which is an area where scar tissue builds up.

Thanks, After reading so many different situations, it hit me, what I thought was causing the crunching noise, is not scar tissue, I think it is the knee. I have tightness, but have full ROM, pain on outer side of the knee, IT Band ? I'm also going to have sciatic nerve checked out. Thanks again, for the info
