What is Arthrolysis and how it is performed?

Arthrolysis is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving stiffness and restoring movement in a joint by removing adhesions, scar tissue, or other obstructions. It is typically performed using an arthroscope, which is a minimally invasive instrument that allows the surgeon to visualize the joint interior and perform the necessary interventions. Through small incisions, the surgeon can carefully dissect and remove the tissue that restricts joint movement. This procedure is often utilized in cases of post-traumatic stiffness or following joint surgeries where excessive scarring has developed.
