See below: How long ago was your surgery is your knee or leg swollen . Are you having any drainage from your knee incisions . I would recommend you probably go back to your orthopedic surgeon asap to have them reevaluate your condition.

Tell Your Surgeon: Without more information on your specific case it is hard to say what is going on. However, i'm sure your surgeon would want to be in the loop on this swelling and bruising to make sure that it is ok. Call the office.
