Arthrofibrosis (from Greek: arthro- joint, fibrosis – scar tissue formation) has been described in most joints like knee, hip, ankle, foot joints, shoulder (frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis), elbow (stiff elbow), wrist, hand joints as well as spinal vertebrae. It can occur after injury or surgery or may arise without an obvious cause. There is excessive scar tissue formation within the joint and/or surrounding soft tissues leading to painful restriction of joint motion that persists despite physical therapy and rehabilitation. The scar tissue may be located inside the knee joint or may involve the soft tissue structures around the knee joint, or both locations.

  • Eine Arthrofibrose (altgriechisch ἄρθρον arthron, deutsch ‚Gelenk‘ und lateinisch fibra ‚Faser‘) ist die Bezeichnung für eine krankhafte Vermehrung von Bindegewebe (Fibrose), aufgrund von inflammatorischen Prozessen innerhalb eines Gelenkes (intraartikulär). Es ist eine häufige Komplikation nach arthroskopischen Interventionen im Kniegelenk, insbesondere nach einer Rekonstruktion des vorderen Kreuzbandes, aber auch nach Implantation von Kniegelenk-Endoprothesen. Man unterscheidet zwischen der das ganze Gelenk befallenden primären Arthrofibrose und der lokalen sekundären Arthrofibrose. (de)

The scar tissue may be located inside the knee joint or may involve the soft tissue structures around the knee joint, or both locations. The pathology that causes arthrofibrosis also causes other forms of fibrosis. Injury and inflammation activates fibroblasts and other cell types, turning them into myofibroblasts which create scar tissue and more inflammation. (en)
