Donald Unger (1998) published a letter entitled “Does knuckle cracking lead to arthritis of the fingers?” He had been cracking his knuckles of his left hand at least twice a day for the past five decades. Unger analyzed his data set: “there was no arthritis in either hand and no differences between the two hands.” He also concluded that, “There is no apparent relationship between knuckle cracking and the subsequent development of arthritis of the fingers.” Habitual knuckle cracking does not seem to be a risk factor for hand osteoarthritis. A retrospective case- control study resulted in 20% occurrence in knuckle cracking that in 215 respondents, there are 135 students that undergone the experiment and 80 of them did not.

This will affect the movement of the neck and may cause neck inflammation. Habitual neck cracking can forcefully stretch the neck joints and its ligaments. This will affect the proper formation of the bone bridges between the vertebrae, as the body tries to stabilize the joint and will further lead to osteoarthritis. Also, frequent neck cracking can damage the blood vessels located in the neck or cervical arteries. It can cause blood clots that travel to the brain, which will bereave the oxygen supply to the brain and will soon result to

    The knee joint is also known as tibiofemoral joint. It is a synovial hinge joint formed between three bones which are the femur, tibia and patella (Taylor, n.d.). There are two rounded, convex processes which are known as condyles on the distal end of the femur. The distal end of the femur meets two rounded, concave condyles at the proximal end of the tibia (Tyalor, n.d.). A thick, triangular bone which is known as patella lies anterior surface between the femur and tibia.

    They used flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation as the spinal mechanics to be tested. They assessed the mechanics in the intact spine, created a burst fracture at L3, and the mechanics were again tested pre and post instrumentation. The instrumented group was further subdivided into two groups, depending on whether they had four or six pedicle screws (ie a screw through the pedicle of the fractured vertebral level). The results showed decreased movement in all mechanical modalities except for axial rotation. They also demonstrated that screws through the fracture vertebrae provided a stiffer construct, and that monoaxial screws resulted in a stiffer construct than polyaxial screws.
