A member asked:
Hi dr, i had acl surgery in april 2015. i have done all the rehab. however my knee continues to have effusion. what do i do?

See orthopedist: If you are still having swelling/effusion a year after surgery, I would follow up with your orthopedic surgeon. It is possible that there is something new going on, because the swelling from the surgery should have resolved months ago.
