What causes the joint stiffness after a sports injury?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: On injury. Generally the tissue around the joint, including tendons and ligaments are injured making movement more difficult. Additionally, swelling may occur which will also cause stiffness.

Scar tissue.: You may have arthrofibrosis (scar tissue), within the joint. Sometimes it can be treated with medication, and sometimes it requires surgery, to remove scar tissue.
