Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swelling near the knee since it is bruised, is likely to be due to a hematoma formation due to the injury in the area. You need to avoid weight bearing and give adequate rest to the knee. If swelling increases, consult a physician for proper examination and investigations.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
