Knee Stiffness

A typical cause of knee stiffness is arthritis, infection, or trauma. Stiffness can also be a result of certain knee surgeries. Excessive scar tissue, which is a network of structures like rubber bands, or thickening of the knee capsule are the two main causes of knee stiffness. Another possible explanation is a mechanical obstruction brought on by a displaced bone fragment.

How is the stiffness treated?
The best course of action is to avoid causing stiffness by frequent knee movements. Short-term anesthesia can be used to mobilize the knee once stiffness starts to develop. In situations that have persisted for a long time, arthroscopic surgery is necessary. For a successful outcome, post surgery rehabilitation is essential.
