Defined as knee stiffness after TKA, usually 10° extension loss. Incidence: 3–6% after TKA. Causes: poor rehab, malposition, infection, scar tissue formation. Management: early manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), arthrolysis, revision if mechanical cause. Prevention: adequate pain control, early physiotherapy, correct alignment.
