7 Year Old Child, Audible Clicking In Right Knee. History Of Femur Fx. Suggestions?
My 7 year old has audible clicking in her right knee for several months now. She is a competitive gymnast, but wanted to wait until after season to get it checked because it bothers her yet not in a painful way. She does have a history of femur fx in that leg at 3 yo. She is very active and it doesn't seem to limit her. What could be causing this?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The clicking sound should not be a cause of concern if there is no limitation of movements. If there is pain or limitation of movement then she should be examined by the orthopedic surgeon.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter all the best.
