title: Motion-limiting arthrofibrosis of the knee: the role of arthroscopic management.
abstract: With the advent of effective arthroscopic methods of intra-articular surgery, it has become possible to lyse intra-articular adhesions under direct vision using arthroscopic techniques. This article reviews the present indications for this procedure, the techniques, the methods of after-care, and the reported results. Previous studies and an additional series of patients are reviewed.
