Inflammation: Is part of normal healing after any kind of wound ( in your case surgical).

Varies: Inflammation can occur in response to an injury, an autoimmune condition, an arthritic condition, an infectious process, among multiple potential causes. In the knee it is usually associated inflammation of the synovium, known as synovitis. I would discuss the specifics of your case with your surgeon, who likely has a theory as to the cause of the inflammation.
