Knee

Condition Anatomy 

Arthrofibrosis occurs when excessive scar tissue forms inside the knee joint, disrupting normal movement and joint mechanics. 

Understanding the Injury 

It usually develops after surgery, trauma, prolonged immobilization, or inflammation. 

Symptoms include: progressive knee stiffness, pain with motion, loss of extension of flexion, and functional limitation. 

Non-Surgical Treatment Options 

  • Aggressive Early Physical Therapy 
  • Anti-Scarring Rehabilitation Protocols 
  • Ultrasound-Guided Soft-Tissue Mobilization 

Surgical Treatment Options 

  •  Arthroscopic Scar Tissue Release 
  • Manipulation Under Anaesthesia in Select Cases 

Special Considerations 

Early detection is critical to avoid permanent motion loss. 

Recovery Expectations 

Recovery takes 2-6 Months. Delays can result in irreversible motion restriction.

When to See an Orthopedic Surgeon 

If motion loss persists beyond normal recovery timeless, immediate evaluation is necessary. 

Why Accelerate Orthopedics is the Right Center 

We emphasize early motion protocols and precision arthroscopic scar release techniques.
