Avoid Motion Restoring Surgery!

Do everything that you can to avoid additional surgery. Surgery causes bleeding, which creates the scar tissue that causes a joint contracture. By treated your joint contracture nonoperatively, you avoid additional scar tissue. The objective is to stretch scar tissue slowly and not tear it, which results in bleeding.

Motion Restoring Surgery includes Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA), Arthroscopic Lysis of Adhesions, Arthroscopic Debridement, Open Scar Tissue Resection…
