Low-grade infections as a potential contributor of arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty
<p>Arthrofibrosis is a well-known complication of arthroplasty. However, the underlying causes that may lead to this pathology are unclear. A possible relationship between undiagnosed low-grade infections and the development of arthrofibrosis has been proposed (Ibrahim et al., 2020). This stud...

| Summary: | <p>Arthrofibrosis is a well-known complication of arthroplasty. However, the underlying causes that may lead to this pathology are unclear. A possible relationship between undiagnosed low-grade infections and the development of arthrofibrosis has been proposed (Ibrahim et al., 2020). This study aims to investigate whether colonization of the joint by low-virulence pathogens may cause arthrofibrosis.</p> |
