I had similar popping sensations and my PT said it could tendons rolling over the implant or simply tendons doing their job but due to the inflammation around the knee they couldn’t move as smoothly as norms

I am experiencing the same problem. Had a left TKR on February 2nd. Started PT two weeks later and was pushed pretty hard to bend my knee. If I try to replicate the exercise I now hear a snap or pop and then it goes back into place. I had to stop PT due to Surgeon's orders. He wants to see if my inflammation goes down. It now occasionally is happening without any exercise that requires bending. I am waiting to go back on March 20th and have been forbidden to do PT until he sees me again. How did you get rid of this problem. I am worried I will need arthroscopic surgery to remove the tendon as he alluded to something along those lines.
