Knee popping 16 months after TKR
My wife had TKR on left knee in June of last year. Went to see surgeon yesterday. They did X-rays and he spent a long time comparing yesterday’s X-ray with ones just after surgery. No visual changes. He also did a thorough physical exam and had her walk back and forth in the halls so he could hear it. We have total confidence in him and he is checking with other surgeons in his practice. Hamstrings are very tight. Knee pops almost ever time the quad fires. Keeps her awake at night. She will star PT next week. Praying this brings relief.

Welcome @lrcraig. I moved your question to this discussion that @ellerbracke started when she has a similar issue:

That's pretty bad when the popping happens even when she moves in her sleep. Did your wife do PT right after surgery too? Is the popping new or has it always been there?
