What Causes Orange Colored Fluid Withdrawal From Knee?
i just had fluid withdrawn from my knee that is orange in color. What causes the fluid to be orange in color? The doctor gave me a cortisone shot in the knee after withdrawing the liquid. He said that I will be fine. I had orthoscopic knee surgery six weeks ago for a torn meniscus.

Hi,
frank orange colour knee fluid is not usual thing, its normally straw coloured and in disease become yellow or red. probably your surgery is the cause, and lets see if your cortisone works, get back on this.
