A member asked:

What are surgeries to give full range of motion in my knee?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: It really depends on the cause of the limited range of motion. Physical therapy and exercises may be all you need in many cases. If the problem is related to tears or advanced arthritis then surgical options may need to be considered. See an orthopedist.
