Best Answer

No, you wouldn't get a bone cancer if you crack your knuckles. The type of joint in the knuckles are saddle joints which do lock up periodically and can be unlocked by "cracking" your knuckles. There is NO evidence that doing this periodically, unless it becomes an obsessive-compulsive behavior is in any way bad for you.

NO! All it does is release the nitrogen from in between your joints and it can cause your knuckles to swell, but it does not cause bone cancer. It might contribute to Arthritis instead.
