A member asked:
Can a knee injury cause swelling below the knee, closer to the ankle?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes - you need evalu: Yes it can especially if there is a Baker's cyst where the fluid can leak out of the back of the knee and go down the leg. This can be joint fluid and at times with an injury there can be acute swelling, even with bleeding that can leak out the back and do this. Ask your physican if you have a Baker's Cyst.

Yes.: If the knee injury caused swelling, that fluid can go down to the ankle with gravity.
