I had pstella femoral makoplasty on dec 20 th had fluid drained yesterday for testing of infection. after the procedure my knee locked. do u know why?

Varies : Varies quite a bit, there are a number of possible considerations. Certainly the hope is that the fluid that has accumulated in your knee does not represent an infection which can cause pretty substantial problems. For now, you will probably need to await fluid results and consider second opinion if you clearly have a poor outcome.
