Bone Chips in the Knee (Osteochondritis Dissecans) Osteochondritis dissecans is a knee problem caused by an injury to the bones or cartilage of the knee joint. The cartilage covering the femur (thighbone) or patella (kneecap) is usually affected. (Cartilage is the tissue that lines and cushions the surface of the joints.) Fragments or chips of bone or cartilage may come loose and float around in the knee joint.
Water on the knee (or fluid on the knee) is a generic term for swelling in or around the knee joint caused by an excessive accumulation of fluid.The lining of the knee joint capsule, which encloses the knee joint, produces fluid that helps lubricate the moving parts of the knee joint and nourishes the cartilage.cute or overuse knee injuries may result in water on the knee. Swelling occurs as a result of leakage of fluid from damaged tissue. Bleeding may also occur from ruptured capillaries, resulting in swelling and discoloration (bruising). Damaged tissue releases chemicals that initiate inflammation.
