Arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for the stiff total knee arthroplasty.
The management of the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty is controversial. Manipulation under anesthesia and open lysis of adhesions are techniques that can theoretically address the fibrous scar tissue, but their efficacy has been shown to be variable. We describe the technique of arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty. The advantages of this tec...
متن کاملArthroscopic lysis of adhesions for stiff total knee arthroplasty.
The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic lysis of adhesions after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in improving range of motion (ROM) and providing an improvement in knee function. The authors retrospectively examined 19 patients who underwent arthroscopic lysis of adhesions following TKA due to poor ROM. The criterion for lysis was the inability to flex to 90° at 3 mont...
متن کاملArthroscopic lysis of adhesions for the stiff total knee: results after failed manipulation.
Arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a potentially devastating complication, resulting in loss of motion and function and residual pain. For patients in whom aggressive physical therapy and manipulation under anesthesia fail, lysis of adhesions may be the only option to rescue the stiff TKA. The purpose of this study is to report the results of arthroscopic lysis of adhesions a...
متن کاملArthroscopic Lysis of Adhesions for Treatment of Post-traumatic Arthrofibrosis of the Knee Joint
Normal knee range of motion varies slightly between individuals and measures approximately 0° to -5° of extension to 140° of flexion. A full arc of motion is required for normal gait and knee function. Loss of normal joint range of motion may occur after a traumatic knee injury and may contribute to increased pain, lower functional outcome scores, and decreased patient satisfaction. Although mu...
متن کاملTotal knee arthroplasty in stiff knees after previous infection.
Between July 1986 and August 1996, we performed 32 total knee arthroplasties (TKA) on 32 patients with partially or completely ankylosed knees secondary to infection. Their mean age at surgery was 40 years (20 to 63) and the mean follow-up was ten years (5 to 13). The mean post-operative range of movement was 75.3 degrees (30 to 115) in those with complete and 98.7 degrees (60 to 130) in those ...
