Can injured knee cause ankle swerlling?

Ankle swelling: Yes. Knee injuries or surgery can cause swelling to occur in the leg, ankle and foot. If it is not improving, please make an appointment with your orthopedic surgeon or with a foot and ankle specialist for a thorough examination of your extremity.

Not directly: However, the knee injury could have been accompanied by the ankle injury that was initially overlooked.
