Dr. P response to popping knees

[Guest guest]

After having written to Dr. Ponseti about Marcus' knees popping, I received an

email with his response. Here it is (and boy do I feel better!):

" The popping in the knees is often produced by a discoid meniscus (cartilage)

in the knee. There are two cartilages in the knee which are usually half moon

shape. However, sometimes they are round and they make this noise when the foot

is rotated as it is in the brace. Usually it is not symptomatic and when the

brace is removed, it will be less noticeable.

I.V. Ponseti, M.D. "
