Being overweight or obese adds stress to the knee joints.

Arthrofibrosis is also known as stiff knee syndrome. The condition sometimes occurs in a knee joint that has recently been injured. It can also occur after surgery on the knee, such as a knee replacement. Over time, scar tissue builds up inside the knee, causing the knee joint to shrink and tighten.

The incidence of arthrofibrosis is extremely low. Some knee stiffness following a total knee replacement is normal.
