Knee Stiffness
n a stiff total knee joint the prosthesis is placed too high, so that the patella is too low -the new joint line touches the patella. The faulty position of the total knee prosthesis increases the tension in the extensor apparatus which cannot lengthen during the knee bending. Besides, there is also a tight scar in the extensor musculature, that further hinders the lengthening of the musculature during knee bending.
