Scar tissue after knee replacement

I want you to know that the manipulation procedure went very well this morning 2/11/25 (less pain than I anticipated, +11 degrees ROM , 1 degree extension measured @7 - 2 weeks ago!) successful PT session 3 hrs after procedure. I have an amazing surgeon with whom agreed that more of a less aggressive manipulation that could have resulted in a bone fracture or connective tissue problems would not be a good plan after all I’ve been through. I hope I can maintain my gain.p, a God willing, add to it. Right now I’m pretty pleased.Good luck with all your future therapy goals.

Impressive results already. I had swelling and stiffness after my MUA, but went into daily PT until my numbers and mobility improved. I gained over 30* flexion and my knee can flatten now. So glad I pushed for it. Surgeon was very reluctant to do it.
I’m glad your mua went well. I had tkr 11 months ago and had mua 11 weeks after surgery because my rom was stuck at 85-90. It did help, I got to 115-125 after many many additional pt sessions. My problem is excessive scar tissue which results in constant and apparently permanent swelling and tightness, it feels like my knee and areas around it are filled with cement. Only time I have extreme pain is when I try to go down stairs so I feel lucky from standpoint of pain, but I’m going to have to decide on whether to 1) try open surgery to remove the scar tissue (and hope ir doesn’t return) or 2) live with my current limitations and hope the adhesions don’t damage my implant long term.
