Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Knee joint effusion refers to a condition in which there is collection of fluid in the knee joint space. The grading is mentioned as moderate which means the fluid is significant. There is also bone swelling noted on the outer aspect of the lower portion of thigh bone. It is important to know if you have had an injury to your knee or you are having any other inflammation or age related changes.
