Overview. A swollen knee occurs when excess fluid accumulates in or around your knee joint. Your doctor might refer to this condition as an effusion (ih-FYU-zhen) in your knee joint. Some people call this condition "water on the knee."
Effusion is swelling that happens when fluid leaks out of a vein, artery, lymph vessel, or synovial membrane into the surrounding tissue. This causes the tissue to expand, or swell. When effusion happens in a joint — commonly the knee — excess fluid can pool in a part of the joint called the synovial cavity.
M25. 461 - Effusion, right knee. ICD-10-CM.
