Brief Answer:
Due to inflammation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The findings of the MRI scan are suggestive of a stress related injury to the internal structures of the knee. Inadequate rest and persistent inflammation is the cause of mild knee joint effusion.
The problem can heal with absolute rest to the knee and using a knee brace. In case the pain and disability are persistent then arthroscopic repair of the lateral meniscus needs to be considered.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
