Abstract: The management of the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty is controversial. Manipulation under anesthesia. and open lysis of adhesions are techniques that can theoretically address the ï¬brous scar tissue, but their efï¬cacy has been. shown to be variable. We describe the technique of arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for the stiff knee after total knee. arthroplasty.
