Most knee joint crepitus results from prolonged intense physical activity; however, excessive fatigue may also contribute. Additionally, meniscal injury can sometimes cause knee joint crepitus. Given the numerous potential causes of knee crepitus, prompt medical evaluation is essential—imaging studies (e.g., X-rays) are typically required to determine the underlying cause, enabling targeted treatment. In daily life, maintaining local warmth around the knee is advisable.
