Joint stiffness can be a frustrating and painful condition that limits movement and affects quality of life. One of the advanced surgical solutions for severe stiffness is Arthrolysis, a procedure that releases scar tissue, adhesions, or fibrous bands that restrict joint motion. This surgery is commonly performed on the knee, elbow, shoulder, or hip, especially after trauma, prolonged immobilization, or complications from previous surgeries.
By carefully removing the restricting tissues, Arthrolysis restores mobility, reduces pain, and allows patients to regain functional use of the affected joint.
Arthrolysis is a surgical technique aimed at improving the range of motion in joints that have become stiff due to scar formation or contractures. This condition, known as “arthrofibrosis,” can occur after injuries, Radius fractures, or surgical procedures like ligament reconstruction or joint replacement. The procedure involves clearing away excess scar tissue, releasing adhesions, and correcting joint alignment where necessary.
Arthrolysis is considered when:
Recovery after arthrolysis requires a structured rehabilitation program to maintain the improved motion and prevent recurrence of stiffness:
Severe joint stiffness can interfere with even the simplest daily tasks and may not always respond to conservative treatments. Arthrolysis surgery provides an effective solution by releasing scar tissue and restoring natural motion. With expert surgical care and dedicated rehabilitation, patients can expect significant improvement in mobility, pain relief, and long-term joint function. If you are experiencing persistent joint stiffness, consulting an orthopedic specialist can help determine whether arthrolysis is the right option for you.
Arthrolysis is a surgical procedure performed to release stiff joints caused by scar tissue, adhesions, or contracted soft tissues that limit motion. It can be done arthroscopically or through open surgery. The goal is to restore joint mobility, reduce pain, and improve functional movement in joints such as the knee, elbow, shoulder, or wrist after injury or surgery.
Arthrolysis becomes necessary when a joint becomes stiff or frozen due to excessive scar tissue formation after trauma, fractures, ligament injuries, or previous surgeries. Prolonged immobilization, infection, or poor rehabilitation may also contribute to joint contracture. When conservative treatments like physiotherapy fail to restore motion, arthrolysis is considered to regain functional movement.

Arthrolysis recovery can involve mild to moderate pain, especially in the initial days after surgery. Pain is usually managed with medication, ice therapy, and gradual physiotherapy. Early rehabilitation is key to prevent stiffness from returning. Discomfort reduces over time as mobility improves. Most patients tolerate recovery well when pain control and therapy are followed correctly.
