Abstract: Highlights•Subquadricipital Recess Distension is hard to evaluate using Ultrasound Imaging.•We formulate the problem of detection of knee joint recess distension.•We propose an object detection approach for joint recess distention.•We propose a multi-task approach for joint recess distention.•We evaluate the proposed approaches on real hemofilic patient data.
