Stiffness after TKA can be a big problem.  The goal is to not develop stiffness and this begins with preoperative education, a technically well done TKA and appropriate post-op PT.  Still, some patients may get stiff.  Your goal is to capture those patients early so that there is still time to make a difference.  Otherwise a MUA may be needed.  Here I will share things that I have seen and tips that I have used to keep my rate of stiffness and need for MUA low.
