Stiff Knee
Post-Surgical Knee Stiffness
Sometimes, after knee surgery, the joint may become stiff. Although this is a rare complication, it can affect your range of motion and comfort.
Treatment Options
Depending on the severity and individual factors, treatment may include:
A patient-specific rehabilitation protocol tailored to gently restore movement.
Arthroscopic release and debridement ā a minimally invasive procedure to free up the stiff joint.
Open release surgery in more severe cases to improve flexibility.
The best treatment approach will be decided by the cartilage specialist, Dr. VijayKumar D, after a thorough evaluation at SV Ortho Care.
