Consult your surgeon: Not enough information here and I think the question got cut off. Need to know what the exact procedure was and why it was done to comment on these results. Suggest a consult with the surgeon who did it or a doctor licensed in the US for specific advice and treatment. All the best.

Varies: You are describing recurrent effusions occurring postoperatively from what sounds like a partial menisectomy. There are multiple potential causes including synovitis, infection, Seroma, loose bodies; thankfully it sounds like it is improving and hopefully will resolve. If not, sending the fluid off to the lab for microscopic analysis would likely show the cause.
