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.

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.
