Are you happy with the results of your arthrolysis procedure? I too am severely impacted by excessive scar tissue in both knees three years post TKR. I have tried laser treatments with no relief and have revisited PT twice after my initial recovery, but the scar tissue comes back stronger and tighter than ever. I just consulted with an Orthopedic surgeon who specializes in treating failed knee replacements but after he reviewed my history and examined my knees he said that he did not recommend undergoing lysis because everything in my knees was normal except for the scar tissue and undergoing lysis increased the risk of infection and the fact that the scar tissue would probably return following a lysis procedure. My scar tissue has severely limited my range of motion and causes constant pain, so I really don’t want to accept my current condition as the best I can hope for!
