? Cause: ? Supra effusion. If you have an intraarticular effusion( fluid in knee joint ) often the fluid will 'go' where there is the most space( suprapatellar pouch). Depends on what is causing this swelling... And it has to be distinguished from bursal ( extraarticular) fluid.Small joint swellings often dissipate on their own. If persists or recurs ; see ors. Best of luck!
