Manipulation Knee Procedure

A knee manipulation procedure is a form of medical intervention intended to improve knee conditions that involve range-of-motion issues. This is a nonsurgical procedure, however, the patient will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout. During a knee manipulation, a specialist will move the knee in different directions to expand the knee joint’s range of motion. This procedure can help individuals who experience stiffness or difficulty bending the knee joint. A knee manipulation procedure is an option for patients who do not necessarily need surgery but are experiencing persistent knee pain.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

A knee manipulation procedure may be necessary in specific cases where conservative treatment for limited mobility or stiffness after knee surgery or injury fails to yield satisfactory results. It is commonly performed when scar tissue formation or joint contracture restricts the normal range of motion in the knee joint, causing severe pain and hindering daily activities. This intervention involves manual force applied by an experienced orthopedic surgeon under anesthesia to forcibly bend and straighten the knee, breaking up adhesions and scar tissue particles that have formed within the joint.

Knee manipulations are typically considered after exhausting other options such as physical therapy, medication, and arthroscopic procedures. While this technique can significantly improve joint function by restoring flexibility, it also carries some risks like fractures, ligament tears, or further damage to soft tissues if not performed correctly. If you are considering undergoing a knee manipulation procedure, it is important to find a trusted medical specialist.

What To Expect

During a knee manipulation procedure, patients are put under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout. The procedure consists of the specialist manipulating the knee in ways to improve range-of-motion and function. When the specialist has completed the procedure, the patient will be taken off anesthesia.

 

It is normal for patients to experience pain in the days following the procedure. Doctors will typically prescribe pain medications to ensure their comfort. It is also important that patients engage in physical therapy after a knee manipulation. A specialized physical therapy program can help them improve mobility, strengthen muscles, and ensure proper healing.
