A member asked:

Was baker's cyst/thrombosis caused by car accident 3.5 months earlier given large bruising front of knee? warfarin treatment caused large hematoma.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding in tissue: Trauma to any site in a patient on anticoagulation will result in bleeding into the tissue resulting in large bruise. Baker's cyst is in the back of the knee and will not clot, but can rupture with trauma. If bc came on after trauma, this implies joint problem.
