What can cause a clicking in your ankle?

Answer by  Travis404607 (3916)

A clicking noise in an ankle or any joint is usually the result of wear and tear on the cartilage. Eventually, excess portions of cartilage become bent with the joint.

A clicking sound in your ankle could be various things but the most likely is a loose bone chip. While not dangerous, the small chip can be annoying. Removing it is possible by a doctor but not necessary

It could be nothing....thats the good news. But most people have little clicking and cracking in their bodies, most likely its nothing dont worry.

if your ankle does a crack occasionally its probably just a stiff joint. it shouldnt be anything bad unless it has bad pain accompanied. if so, see your doctor.

This can be caused by a previous injury to the bone, tendons or ligaments. Whether via a break, fracture, sprain, or other injury.
