    The answer is crepitus. This is a therapeutic term to depict the popping, grinding, crackling sounds and sensations experienced in the skin and joints because of the nearness of air in the subcutaneous tissue.

    Different kinds of crepitus that can be heard in joint pathologies are:

    Bone crepitus

    Joint crepitus

    Crepitus of bursitis

    Crepitus of tenosynovitis
