Knee catching: unpredictable or same spot?

About this video

Last updated: 9 October 2026

The video says unpredictable catching often suggests something moving freely within the joint. It contrasts this with catching at the same position repeatedly, which it says usually points to a structure being engaged at a specific angle. It says recurring catching is usually worth evaluating further.
