Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi, You have fallen from stairs two weeks after undergoing knee surgery and are having swelling in the knee and X Ray does not show any displacement of implant.
In my opinion , if you have persistent swelling in the knee joint I would suggest you undergo MRI of the knee since X Rays may not show much. Also get the opinion of your operating surgeon.
I find this answer helpful
