Just had stitches out (2) from arthroscopic to remove scar tissue causing patella to catch on scar tissue. Problem resolved. Just made trip this weekend to Ocala fl for winter. At 6 month mark of TKR. Good luck with arthroscopic.

I am suffering from the same issue with scar tissue following TKR in both knees. I have consulted with three different orthopedic surgeons following my diagnosis of arthrofibrosis and all three have advised against removing the scar tissue because they say the scar tissue will simply come back and will possibly be worse than now. I am following your progress and hope you will keep us informed on your status as time goes on.
