I want to know why i can't bend knee after arthroscopy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knee stiffness: The orthopedist should compare pre and post operative knee motion to include flexion (bending) and extension (straightening). If there is associated arthritis knee bending can be hindered. Knee swelling secondary to the arthroscopy can be associated with knee flexion deficit so your operating surgeon should carefully evaluate and discuss reasons.
