Fluid accumulation in leg and knee pain
My father met with a small accident last month and his knee, leg got injured.
Initially there was small wound on the leg below the knee which got completely healed in a week.
Now some fluid is accumulated below the skin and and knee is paining. We got his sonography and MRI done for that fluid and knee. Attached are the reports.
Doctor has advised for a surgery for knee and also to remove that fluid.
On second opinion, other doctor suggested that it's minor fracture in knee and the fluid will also get absorbed if father takes good rest and proper medicine.
We r confused in this situation as what to be done. Father is not facing any pain in walking running or stretching leg. Please help.

If your father is not having any pain while walking and bending his knees, then there should not be any need for surgery. Actual condition of the knee can only be commented on by physical examination.
