Hello dear Please be advised I think you are having recovery period It will require patience and time In the meantime time apply hot cravings You can take lyser d tablet for improvement For further evaluation you can consult orthopedic surgeon Regards
At age 24, the “kut kut” sound in the knee (likely from the patella) and stiffness after sitting suggest patellofemoral tracking issues or post-surgical joint adaptation. Since pain is minimal and strength, motion, and daily activity are improving, continue physiotherapy focused on quadriceps and hamstring strengthening. Consult an Orthopedic Surgeon or Sports Physiotherapist to assess patellar alignment and ensure no long-term cartilage or tracking problems.
This kutkut sound is called theater sign which can be due to
#Patellofemoral tracking issues: The kneecap (patella) may not be gliding smoothly in its groove due to muscle imbalance or weakness, particularly in the quadriceps (especially VMO) #Can be a post op normal crepitus # Chondromalacia patella: Softening or wear of the cartilage under the kneecap
Advise Physiotherapy and strengthening, especially quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Cycling — low-impact and great for knee recovery. Stretching the quads, hamstrings, IT band, and calf. Warm up before sitting for long
Avoid: Sudden high-impact activities Deep squats or kneeling unless cleared Ignoring signs of swelling or joint locking
The sounds you’re experiencing in your knee, often called crepitus, are not uncommon after ACL reconstruction and meniscus surgery. This is usually due to changes in the joint’s mechanics and the natural healing process, including how scar tissue and the new alignment of the joint’s components interact when they are moved. What you’re describing as a “kut kut” sound might be related to how the patella tracks over the femur or due to some minor irregularities in the cartilage or other joint structures. While the sound itself is not always a cause for alarm, however, it’s crucial to consider whether it’s accompanied by pain, instability or swelling. Since you’re not facing severe pain during exercises or cycling, this may not be an immediate cause for concern, but it’s something to monitor. Difficulty walking after sitting for long periods could be due to stiffness which is still a common complaint at this stage in recovery. Focus on continuing with your physiotherapy exercises, which are key to regaining full function. Make sure you’re including exercises that strengthen and stabilize the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings, as these support knee function and improve joint stability. If the noise, stiffness, or any discomfort persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your physical therapist or physician. They can offer a more detailed evaluation and adjust your rehabilitation as needed. Also, listen to your body; avoid pushing too hard too soon, as this can exacerbate issues rather than help them resolve.
