A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, examined 300 knuckle crackers for evidence of joint damage.
Results found no apparent correlation between joint cracking and arthritis, however, those continuing repeated popping joints showed signs of other types of damage. These included soft tissue damage to the joint capsule and a decrease in grip strength. This damage is most likely a result of the rapid, repeated stretching of the ligaments surrounding the joint.
