@drpaulmaloof: Breaking down knee joint fluid 101 👇 When we drain fluid from a swollen knee, the color and thickness tell us a lot. This fluid showed signs of synovitis — which simply means inflammation of the synovial lining, the tissue that lines the inside of your joint. And anytime you see “-itis,” it just means inflammation. Understanding the fluid helps us figure out what’s going on inside the knee and decide the best next steps for treatment.

AmRO :

So is that technically bone broth?

Sir Fancy Bacon :

Me looking at the scars from my surgery on flexor tendon synovitis. "yeah, it is murky if it's infected"

Kevin E. Jefferson, DPM :

Many moons ago during my ortho rotation during residency, I removed 60 cc of fluid from a woman’s knee. She kissed my hands afterward.

Nick :

Needs an oil change at 10,000

CureCHD94 :

That procedure looks painful

gatoradepower :

So do they ever get septic arthritis

Nico :

How does the body remove the fluid naturally?

SirPuffinStuff :

DeoxyRibo :

Andi :

What about yellow fluid with white “flakes” in it? My ortho didn’t really explain why…

kara :

Thank you for teaching us :)

amber :

I work at a pt tech and one time we had a guys incision on his knee open and a TON of this flow out of it, we had him bend his knee like we were pumping water out of a well 😅 he had instant relief and an immediate appointment with his surgeon but I'll never forget jt

Letty :

Luc Cis :

I had blood pulled out of knee like that after I dislocated it

GhostMSL :

Heh, had to have that done a while back. Found out that it isn't supposed to be a totally opaque red. When the ER drained it later doc said he got 1/2 a liter out. That was unfun - you couldn't see my knee and I couldn't bend it at all.

Canucks :

what do they look for in gout at the lab?
