What Could Be The Reason For Popping Knee On Extension Of The Leg And Sharp Pain On Jumping?
My right knee pops when I extend it. If I continue to retract and then extend it again, it doesn't pop. When I run, it really doesn't bother me, but when I am playing basketball and shooting the ball, it's like it' 'pinches' me with a sharp little pain in it. What do you think? Mainly when I am shooting jump shots as I am using my legs to lift when I shoot. Thanks -J

Hi,
The symptoms are typical of ligament injury. there are 4 possibilities. the exact nature of injury can be judged by a detailed clinical examination. This can be confirmed by a MRI of the affected knee joint.
