Knee (Outline) Flashcards
what is ________ which is caused by posterior germination of the synovial membrane through the joint capsule into the popliteal fossa. Sweliing appears below joint line and may extend as dar as the mid calf. Large swelling may interfere w/ knee movements but otherwise asymptomatic.
