Post surgical knee: Scar tissue that forms following surgery may prevent full range of motion. If physical therapy cannot resolve this, manual manipulation is performed to break the scar tissue

Bending under anesth: Manipulation is bending the knee while the patient is under anesthesia. It breaks of scar tissue that has formed in the immediate postopoerative period and is limiting motion. Best results are achieved if it is performed in the first few months after surgery. Physical therapy and exercises are critical afterwards to maintain the flexion.
