Best answer I have... I am actually also having pops here and there but I realize the B) below fits perfectly.
A) Scar tissue, joint adhesions, slightly altered mechanics - all of these things can cause the knee to pop and can be present after surgery.
B) You can also have tight tendons (hamstring/IT band) moving over the femoral epicondyles that can cause popping, or slight shifting of the patella -
C) all of these things are common and no need to worry unless it is causing consistent and significant pain.

How common is total knee ligament replacement surgery?
There are 5 main types of knee replacement surgery: Total knee replacement. This is the most common form. Your surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee. Partial knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one side of your knee, this surgery may be a possibility. However, it’s only right for you if you have strong knee ligaments and the rest of the cartilage in the knee is normal. Partial knee replacement can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed for total knee replacement. Patellofemoral replacement. This replaces only the under-surface of the kneecap and the groove the kneecap sits in. This can be very effective for people with chronic kneecap arthritis. Complex (or revision) knee replacement. This procedure may be needed if you have very severe arthritis or if you’ve already had two or three knee replacement surgeries. Cartilage restoration: Sometimes when the knee only has an isolated area of injury or wear this area can be replaced with a living cartilage graft or cells which grow into cartilage.
