This sensation often feels like there is an elastic band encircling the knee joint, creating a feeling of stiffness or tension, particularly during movement. It may persist for weeks or even months after surgery, leaving some patients concerned about whether this is normal or a sign of a complication. The tight band feeling is typically due to a combination of tissue healing, swelling, and the body’s adjustment to the new joint. Scar tissue formation and ongoing inflammation are common contributors, especially as the soft tissues heal and adapt to a new range of motion. While initially concerning, this sensation is a normal part of many patients’ recovery journeys, though it should always be monitored in case additional symptoms develop. Why Does the Tight Band Feeling Occur? After a knee replaceme...
