Knee effusion, sometimes called water on the knee, occurs when excess fluid accumulates in or around the knee joint. Common causes include arthritis and injury to the ligaments or meniscus, which is cartilage in the knee. A small amount of fluid exists in normal joints. In some cases, however — for example, with rheumatoid arthritis — excess fluid can build up, and the knee becomes puffy and swollen. Statistics suggest that 27%Trusted Source of people will experience fluid on the knee at some time. Symptoms : Excess fluid will cause puffiness around the bony parts of the knee. One knee may look and feel bigger than the other. It may be difficult to bend or straighten the knee. Typical symptoms includeTrusted Source: swelling, stiffness, a reduced range of motion The following symptoms need urgent medical attention: 1.inability to put weight on the joint 2.no pulse in the feet 3.loss of feeling below the knee 4. fever Other symptoms will depend on the underlying cause. For example: Osteoarthritis: Pain and stiffness tend to be worse first thing in the morning but often improve within 30 minutes of getting up. Rheumatoid arthritis: Pain and swelling often affects several joints and often symmetrically. The joint may feel hot to the touch. Pain persists longer than 30 minutes after waking. Traumatic injury: There may be bruising and severe pain, and it may be hard to put weight on the knee. Infection: The knee may be hot, and there may also be fever. Treatment : Geniculate artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally-invasive procedure to reduce knee pain for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). GAE is performed through a small puncture in the groin. The catheter is positioned in the arteries around the knee, tiny particles can be injected that block the capillaries around the lining of the knee, a technique called embolization. The procedure generally takes between 45 and 90 minutes, and the patient is able to go home the same day. GAE blocks the blood flow in the areas around the knee that are inflamed. By blocking these arteries, there is a reduction in the amount of inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, a process that can help or eliminate the associated knee pain. The risk of the procedure is small, mostly the accidental injection of particles into arteries not supplying the lining of the knee.
