Why Does My Knee Click After a Total Knee Replacement?Clicking sounds after total knee replacement are common and usually harmless, resulting from the interaction between implant components and surrounding tissues. These noises often diminish as healing progresses and muscle strength improves. While normal clicking stems from implant mechanics, scar tissue, or patellar tracking, painful or persistent sounds with swelling…Clicking sounds after total knee replacement are common and usually harmless, resulting from the interaction between implant components and surrounding tissues. These noises often diminish as healing progresses and muscle strength improves. While normal clicking stems from implant mechanics, scar tissue, or patellar tracking, painful or persistent sounds with swelling or instability require specialist evaluation to rule out complications. Advanced motion analysis and regenerative therapies can optimize recovery and joint function. Maintaining physiotherapy and a healthy lifestyle supports smoother knee motion. At London Cartilage Clinic, tailored implant choices and integrative approaches ensure a natural-feeling knee and improved long-term outcomes.

The Importance of the VMO Muscle in Knee Stability and RecoveryThe vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle, part of the quadriceps group, is critical for knee stability and function. Positioned on the inner thigh, the VMO aids in patellar alignment and knee extension. Strengthening the VMO is essential for preventing knee injuries like Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, Runner’s Knee, and ACL injuries,…The vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle, part of the quadriceps group, is critical for knee stability and function. Positioned on the inner thigh, the VMO aids in patellar alignment and knee extension. Strengthening the VMO is essential for preventing knee injuries like Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, Runner’s Knee, and ACL injuries, while enhancing athletic performance and recovery post-injury or surgery. Common issues include VMO weakness or imbalance, leading to knee instability. Effective exercises for VMO strengthening include terminal knee extensions, short-arc quads, and lunges. Strengthening the VMO can alleviate discomfort in daily activities and sports, reduce knee pain, and decrease the risk of knee injuries. A strong VMO is beneficial for individuals with osteoarthritis by improving knee function and reducing pain.

The Importance of VMO Strength for Knee Operation RecoveryRecovering from knee surgery can be challenging, but strengthening the vastus medialis oblique (VMO)—a key part of the quadriceps—can enhance stability and reduce recovery time. The VMO plays a crucial role in patellar tracking and knee joint protection, making its strength essential post-operation. Effective exercises like quad sets, straight leg…Recovering from knee surgery can be challenging, but strengthening the vastus medialis oblique (VMO)—a key part of the quadriceps—can enhance stability and reduce recovery time. The VMO plays a crucial role in patellar tracking and knee joint protection, making its strength essential post-operation. Effective exercises like quad sets, straight leg raises, and terminal knee extensions can aid recovery and improve patella alignment, reducing pain and instability. It is recommended to perform these exercises under a physiotherapist's guidance to ensure form and prevent overstrain. Incorporate VMO strengthening into a comprehensive rehabilitation programme for better mobility and function. Begin with guidance, focus on form, and integrate with functional movements for optimal results. Work with healthcare professionals to tailor a personalised recovery plan that supports an efficient and safe return to daily activities.
