title: Arthroscopic arthrolysis of intra-articular knee stiffness.
abstract: The authors report 15 cases of intra-articular knee stiffness treated by arthroscopic arthrolysis with or without section of the alar ligaments. The advantages to using this type of treatment as compared to mobilization in narcosis or arthrotomic arthrolysis are emphasized.
