A lady was seen recently by our vascular surgeon to have varicose vein
surgery. Subsequently a lump had come up on the medial aspect of the
knee which was thought to have no connection with the knee joint
demonstrable by ultrasound, the surgeon wonders whether it was due to
synovial fluid.
He drew off some fluid and sent it to us asking to confirm it's identity
as synovial fluid.
Can anyone suggest what approach we should/could take? Viscosity has
been considered.
