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. Scar tissue from arthrofibrosis can severely impact your kneeâs range of motion. In the most severe instances, it can result in a permanent inability to bend and straighten the knee. The incidence of arthrofibrosis is extremely low. Some knee stiffness following a total knee replacement is normal.
