Knee crepitus accompanied by pain may result from a meniscal injury, rupture of intra-articular cysts (e.g., Baker’s cyst), or conditions such as knee osteoarthritis or patellofemoral arthritis. It is advisable to consult a hospital for appropriate diagnostic evaluations to determine the precise underlying cause, followed by targeted treatment under the guidance of a physician.
