patellar crepitus
Patellar crepitus was defined as a palpable, crunching, grinding sensation in the region of the distal quadriceps tendon or over the patella when the knee was brought from flexion to extension. The presence of this phenomenon, with or without pain, was recorded at each followup

By Itself, Knee "Crunching" Sound Generally Not Cause For Concern
Crepitus is caused by the rubbing of cartilage on the joint surface or other soft tissues around the knee during joint movement. When knee snapping or catching is painful, that is usually a result of scar tissue, a meniscus tear or a tendon moving over a bony prominence within the knee joint.
https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/by-itself-knee...
It is not unusual for people to hear a noise or feel a cracking, crunching, or popping sensation when they move their knee.
The name of this cracking or popping sensation is crepitus. It can affect different parts of the body, but it is common in the knee.
It usually happens when air bubbles develop in body tissues, but it can also happen when the tendons or ligaments snap over the bony structures in the knee, or as a result of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFS), torn cartilage, or osteoarthritis (OA).
Other people may or may not be able to hear the sound.

What is patellofemoral pain?
PFPS occurs when the patella (kneecap) rubs on the femur bone underneath. It is often thought that incorrect tracking or rubbing of the patella over the femur bone is a significant factor and results in damage or irritation of the articular cartilage underneath the patella.
https://www.nicolettevisserphysio.co.za/patellofemoral-pain-...
Abnormal movement or “tracking” of the patella over the femur can lead to irritation due to rubbing of the patella bone on a part of the femur bone where it does not normally contact. This can be due to imbalances (weakness/tightness) of muscles that control the movement of the patella or by imbalances of muscles that stabilize the legs to keep the legs in proper alignment which allows for normal movement. Over time, abnormal movement and rubbing of the patella on the femur can cause irritation which eventually leads to more frequent episodes of pain if not corrected and managed.
https://pivotalphysio.com/patellofemoral-pain-syndrome-physi...
For example, in a person with long-term patella (kneecap) maltracking, the repeated rubbing of the patella against its groove can cause early wear and tear to the articular surfaces of the patellofemoral joint.

If patellar maltracking is severe and not treated properly then it can lead to damage to the articular cartilage in the patellofemoral joint, and eventually to patellofemoral arthritis (bare bone on the back of the patella rubbing on bare bone at the front of the knee).

Chondromalacia patellae occurs most often in young adults and teenagers. It is more common in women. The reason why damage occurs to the cartilage is not clear. It is thought that the kneecap (patella) may rub against the lower part of the thighbone (femur) instead of gliding smoothly over it.

Some people may have a slight problem in the alignment of the knee. This may cause the patella to rub on, rather than glide over, the lower femur... Some people may have a slight problem in the alignment of the knee. This may cause the patella to rub on, rather than glide over, the lower femur.
