Abstract
|
|
|
|
Arthrofibrosis of the knee is a commonly encountered entity and often results from prolonged immobilization or delay in postoperative mobilization of knee. Arthroscopic arthrolysis has replaced open arthrolysis as the gold standard in the management of the stiff knee. Several authors have described their techniques and modifications for arthroscopic management of the stiff knee. Rare but devastating complications have also been reported, particularly when forceful manipulation of the knee is done during surgery. We describe a safe method of arthroscopic-assisted management of a stiff knee with our own modifications to avoid catastrophic complications like iatrogenic fracture, tendon rupture or avulsion while simultaneously achieving improved range of flexion.
