Abstract

Stiffness is a disabling complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), leading to important limitation in the range of movement and affecting patient ability to perform daily activities. In this study, 25 records were considered to describe the most common treatment for prosthetic knee stiffness.

Manipulation under anaesthesia is the first option in early arthrofibrosis, arthroscopic arthrolysis is usually performed 3 to 6 months after TKA, while arthrotomic arthrolysis has to be considered a second-line treatment. Revision arthroplasty should only be used in selected cases.
