Clinically, this condition has many causes, including aseptic, immune system-related, rheumatic, and tuberculous factors. The most common type is aseptic synovitis, in which the aseptic inflammation is caused by cold exposure, overuse, trauma, or excessive activity. It is important to keep warm and avoid strenuous exercise. Additionally, strengthening the muscles around the knee joint can help reduce the incidence of knee synovitis.
