Pain after total knee arthroplasty caused by soft tissue impingement

DM Hirsh and JG Sallis

Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York.

The usual causes of pain after total knee replacement are well known, but there are a small number of patients in whom its aetiology is obscure. We report three patients with a specific pain syndrome caused by hypertrophic fibrous tissue in the intercondylar notch. Excision of this tissue relieved the symptoms completely.
