The loud pop of a cracked knuckle is caused by synovial fluid, the thick lubricant that surrounds every joint. When the fingers are stretched or bent backward, the bones of the joint pull apart. This creates bubbles of air in the fluid, which subsequently burstthat’s why it pops..not sure if it get you fat finger or not… but my finger have been skinny since forever… hahahaha
hello my grandma says when you crack you nuckles you will get arthritus in you fingers really bad is it true? and also what really does happen?and one more thing will my fingers keep getting bigger and bigger the more I crack them?
I can make this statement based on medical research This is one of about 5-6 medical journal research proving that knuckle cracking does not cause arthritis.Dr. B
