Revision total knee arthroplasty for arthrofibrosis
Journal of Arthroplasty Apr 04, 2018
Rutherford RW, et al. - Authors assessed the outcomes after revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for arthrofibrosis. They conducted a follow-up for a mean of 59 months. An association of arthrofibrosis after TKA with significant improvements in range of motion (ROM) and Knee Society Scores (KSS) (with flexion improving from 88° to 103° and extension improving from 11° to 3°) was seen. Nonetheless, caution was advised due to the high rates of revisions, reoperations, and complications. In this series, 30% of patients had a decrease in one or more component of the KSS or a net decrease in arc of motion following revision surgery.
