Welcome to Health care magic.

1.The history suggest an infective aetiology of a lump / collection within in a post operative site.
2.It could be infective collection adjacent to the operative site, which needs to be assessed properly.
3.At this point get an x-ray knee joint AP/LAT to have an over view of the pathology.
4.An ultrasound to assess the nature of the lump and source and where all it is extending.
5.In case of infection with out internal involvement - a course of antibiotic will be enough with symptomatic treatment. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
