How to Maintain Range of Motion After Knee Manipulation Under Anaesthetic
Manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA) is a key procedure to restore knee mobility after total knee replacement when stiffness occurs due to scar tissue.

Early intervention and consistent rehabilitation, including targeted exercises like heel slides and quadriceps sets, are essential to maintain range of motion and prevent long-term disability. Effective pain and swelling management, patient motivation, and regular physiotherapy support further enhance outcomes. Recognizing signs of complications and maintaining follow-up care help avoid recurrent stiffness and promote lasting joint function.

Manipulation Under Anaesthetic After Knee Replacement: What You Need to Know
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.
