Summary Introduction

To analyze:

In the given case, a football player was injured during a match. His leg was twisted and his knee joint swelled up. The injury was accompanied by a sharp pain and he was unable to walk during the latter half of the day. He was advised by his coach to visit a doctor who would drain the water from his knees. Determine the meaning of sentence “water in the knee” and reason for the condition of Jeremiah's knee after an injury.

Introduction:

The knee joint is more damage prone because of its mobility and complexity. An injury may cause swelling in the knee. This can occur either due to damaged blood vessels, synovial membrane, a fracture, or rupture of ligaments. Sometimes, an injury may cause an increase in the synovial fluid of the knee joint and this condition is known as “water in the knee” or knee effusion.
