Adhesion of knee joint after fracture. I want to ask about the specific situation of the release operation.

There are manual release and surgical release. Speaking of how to implement it, it is too professional and difficult to understand.

Manual release means that under anesthesia, the muscles are completely relaxed, the knee joint moves passively, and the contracture joint capsule and surrounding ligaments are pulled.

Surgical release includes incision release, arthroscopic release and quadriceps femoris plasty. All of them are used to remove contracture joint capsule, peripheral ligament, scar tissue or muscle.

If it is risky, it is common to have fracture recurrence, loose or broken internal fixation, incomplete release, and joint contracture again.

The recovery process is very painful, and it is very hard to start active and passive activities the next day after surgery.
