Findings on physical examination include decreased range of motion, crepitus, a mild joint effusion, and palpable osteophytic changes at the knee joint. |
The knee often clicks as it moves through its range of movement and usually the patient feels and hears grating or crepitus under their kneecap. |
Actually, I don't know, it's a bit swollen, but I don't think the crepitus has come back. |
This step comprises a search for pain, abnormal motion, crepitus or swelling of the palpated zone. |
The older the patient, and the further ossification has progressed, the more does the crepitus resemble that of fracture. |
Palpation of the nasal structures should be done to elicit any crepitus, indentation, or irregularity of the nasal bone. |
