Seriously, you really don't know how scar tissue in joints work? The scar tissue around injuries like this can literally last your entire lifetime. It can keep breaking off in small segments for decades. Anyone who has ever broken a bone or a torn ligament in a joint can tell you all about it. I have had five such injuries. A broken ankle (yeah ironic huh), a torn AC joint, a torn MCL, a broken thumb and a broken wrist. All except the wrist are more than a decade old. The ankle is 40 years old. The knee is about 35 years. The thumb and AC joint are about 30 years .. All still have scar tissue in them and I can still feel small bits of scar tissue breaking off in them from time to time. It's a fact of the human body. I've felt these little pops for decades. Every once in a while they cause actual pain.. but most of the time they just irritate me for a few minutes and I keep doing whatever it was I was doing. I should point out that in my case I only went to a professional physical therapist for the thumb and the wrist. The rest I rehabbed on my own. PT is supposed to help break up as much of the scar tissue as possible but it can't get it all. Time has to get the rest.
Nope I don’t know and I guarantee you many many other peopl on here don’t as well.
however many thanks for the explanation very much appreciated.
