Excerpt

The term stiff joint refers to the loss of the range of motion. It may occur as consequence of fibrous adhesion by hemarthrosis or exudates, which may impair considerably the joint function and quality of life. The literature addressing the benefit of arthroscopic adhesiolysis in arthrofibrosis due to septic arthritis or adhesions secondary to inflammatory arthritis is scarce [1, 2]. …
