What way is the knee joint poorly protected and thus especially vulnerable to injuries?

The knee is made up of connective tissues and the end of long bones. The ligaments and tendons that connect to the knee are not protected by any muscles. Simply twisting the knee in an unusual direction can cause any of those tendons and ligaments to tear. Too much of one activity may also cause injury to the knee. In addition to unusual movements, the knee can be injured by a direct blow. The is common in contact sports such as football. If a player is tackled from the outside, the inside ligament can easily be torn because it is not protected.

Why do you get water on the knee after a knee replacement?

Water on the knee after knee replacement is a very common problem that many patient face. It can be common or uncommon depending on severity of the swelling and time frame. Immediately following surgery it would appear as if your knee joint is swollen that is because of the underlying tissue has been traumatized. In knee replacement surgery the surgeon has to reach the joint by cutting the muscles so once operation is done the muscles has to be reorganized and that is the cause for swelling. As long as you are not having trouble or it is not causing any trouble to you swelling is normal thing. Hope it helps.

This may be a sign of bleeding inside the joint (hemarthrosis). Swelling that occurs suddenly is usually a sign of a serious knee injury.Limited knee movement because of swelling and/or pain.After an acute injury, you will almost always have to stop the activity you are engaged in but may be able to walk.The main symptom of chronic (long-lasting and recurrent) ACL deficiency is an unstable knee joint. The knee buckles or gives out, sometimes with pain and swelling. This happens more often over time. But not everyone with an ACL injury develops a chronic ACL deficiency."
