PT: You should already be involved in aggressive PT to rehab your knee. Consult your treating orthopedic surgeon.

Hopefully not : It is too early to say whether your knee arthroscopy will ultimately improve the range of motion of your knee. Further time and therapy likely needed at this point. If the knee is still stiff at 3-4 months out, then the concern is that the arthroscopic procedure may not be the answer for you and you should discuss with your surgeon other options available. Hopefully will resolve.
