Poor Outcomes of Isolated Tibial Insert Exchange and Arthrolysis for the Management of Stiffness Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

Abstract

Isolated tibial insert exchange, arthrolysis, and débridement failed to provide a viable solution to the difficult and poorly understood problem of knee stiffness in a group of carefully selected patients following total knee arthroplasty. We therefore have little enthusiasm for the continued use of this strategy.
