Knee Arthrolysis Surgery – Stiff Knee treated by Dr. Anupam Khandelwal


A 22years old male patient (named X) presented to Dr. Anupam Khandelwal in OPD in Bhopal.

The patient X had “avulsion fracture of Posterior Cruciate ligament(PCL)” of the right Knee Joint around 5months back (October 2024). Patient got arthroscopic repair surgery done in another hospital outside Indore few days after the surgery. But patient did not perform physiotherapy as is usually required after this kind of surgery. Hence he developed stiffness in the knee joint.

Patient Details:

  • Name: X (22-year-old male)
  • Consulting Surgeon: Dr. Anupam Khandelwal
  • Clinic: Anupam Khandelwal Joint Clinics (AKJC), Bhopal

When patient presented to Dr. Anupam Khandelwal Joint Clinics , Bhopal he had a STIFF KNEE with knee fixed in a bend deformity of 30degrees i.e. it was not getting Straight. Also it was only bending from 30 degrees to 50 degrees (Usually knee bends up to 160 degrees).

Diagnosis: Arthrofibrosis After Knee Surgery


Dr. Anupam Khandelwal and team performed KEY HOLE surgery via 30 degree Arthroscope.

Arthroscope is an highly specialized and technologically advanced medical instrument (AKJC used arthroscope imported from Germany) used to ‘see inside’ a Joint Cavity , usually knee, shoulder , hip etc .

He noted excessive & extensive adhesions in the Knee Joint i.e. ARTHROFIBROSIS. with the help of shaver these adhesions are slowly removed . Precaution is taken to avoid damaging important structures of Knee like ligaments and meniscus.


After the procedure was completed, Knee bending up to 160 degrees was achieved on operation table itself. Patient was advised to perform extensive and wholesome Physiotherapy at “KHANDELWAL PHYSIOTHERPY CLINIC” under the guidance of experienced Physiotherapists. patient X is happy after the Procedure as he is not able to bend and straighten the leg much better than before the surgery performed by Dr. Anupam Khandelwal.
