Manipulation Under Anaesthetic After Knee Replacement: What You Need to KnowManipulation under anaesthetic (MUA) is a key procedure used to improve knee mobility after total knee replacement when stiffness limits movement, typically within three months post-surgery. Scar tissue formation and inadequate rehabilitation may cause limited range of motion, making MUA essential to break adhesions and restore function. Although generally safe…Manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA) is a key procedure used to improve knee mobility after total knee replacement when stiffness limits movement, typically within three months post-surgery. Scar tissue formation and inadequate rehabilitation may cause limited range of motion, making MUA essential to break adhesions and restore function. Although generally safe when performed early by experienced teams, MUA carries risks such as joint bleeding, pain, and rare fractures. Successful recovery depends on prompt, intensive physiotherapy and adherence to rehabilitation routines to maintain gains. Preventing the need for MUA involves early mobilization, regular follow-ups, and addressing stiffness signs immediately. Understanding the procedure, risks, and recovery process helps patients and clinicians optimize outcomes after knee replacement surgery.
