Arthrofibrosis After Surgery Attorney
Arthrofibrosis is the breakdown of a joint, with scarring on the joint that limits its natural range of motion. It can occur when too much collagen forms in a joint, and starts to break down the tissue material in that area, and promotes excessive scarring which restricts motion. People who have developed arthrofibrosis may have an issue after an injury, and also after an operation. If too much scar tissue is created by the body after an operation, then it will limit the amount of motion that a person can have to flex that joint or limb. It can lead to severe arthritis, and result in a permanent disability of the limb, that cannot be cured or made better.
The arthrofibrosis condition can also be triggered with other healing disorders. It is more prevalent and seen usually in the knee joints, but it can be found anywhere on the body where there are joint functions. People with this condition typically suffer major pain in the joints, and are unable to walk naturally after the development of this condition.
Arthrofibrosis After a Surgery
Arthrofibrosis can occur after a surgery, where scar tissue can form deep inside of the person’s joints, or outside the area of the joint. This scar tissue acts as a tightener of the joint tissues, and prohibits normal flexion of the joint out and back when the person tries to move the joints. The incidence of arthrofibrosis can form and be triggered by other conditions as well. For example, if there is an infection or an operation that was performed improperly, poor or non-existent physical therapy, there can also be scarring that will form to cause arthrofibrosis in the joints.
Arthrofibrosis can form in many areas of the body in the joints, including:
- Patellofemoral joint
- Quadriceps muscles
- Quadriceps tendon
- Patellar tendon
- Patella
- Iliotibial band
- Cruciate ligaments
- Transverse ligaments
- Capsular pouches
- Posterior capsule
- Hamstrings muscle

Arthrofibrosis After a Knee Surgery
When arthrofibrosis develops in the joints, it can spread quite rapidly to other areas of the body. The scarring and inflammation can lead to tissue damage, scarring, over production of TGF-beta, fibrosis, and modifications of the extracellular matrix which may affect even the person’s immune response to diseases over time. There can be secondary conditions, triggering of complications, and other issues with the development of arthrofibrosis.
Other complications of arthrofibrosis include:
- Infections
- Dislocated knee and ligaments
- Requirement for ligament reconstruction
- Painful and swollen knees
- Concurrent MCL repair or need for reconstruction
- Infections triggered as a result of this condition
- Poor range of motion in the area of the scarring
- Poor rehabilitation results
- Synovitis
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Reflex sympathetic dystrophy
- Scar tissue in the femoral notch
Arthrofibrosis After a Shoulder Surgery
When there is arthrofibrosis in the shoulder, it can present itself in a stiff shoulder or “frozen shoulder” situation for the person suffering with this condition. It means that there is less than an ideal range of motion for the person, and it will impede being able to walk and get around.
Arthrofibrosis After a Spine Surgery
The condition of arthrofibrosis can occur after a spinal fracture surgery, which will result in pain, weakness, decreased function of movement, and issues with being able to manage daily activities.
