A member asked:
Can you please explain this in simple terms..."thickening of soft tissue just medial to the knee joint"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple translation: When tissue fills with extra fluid after an injury it creates a widening or thickening of the tissue layers. Here medial just means to the inside of the joint (toward the center line of the body) .
