Article Synopsis
- Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is used to treat stiffness after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when other treatments have failed, but factors affecting its outcomes are not well-studied.
- A study involving 391 TKA patients identified 39 who required MUA; these patients were younger and consumed more opioids post-surgery compared to those who didn't need MUA.
- After 1 year, while MUA led to significant improvements in range of motion, the total range was still less favorable compared to non-MUA patients; however, patient-reported outcome measures showed no significant difference between the two groups.
