Abstract Introduction: The etiology of the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is largely unknown, although excessive scar tissue due to arthrofibrosis is an important reason for a limited range of motion (ROM) after this procedure. A non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID)may be prescribed for pain control. } Reimbursements included the reimbursement for the index surgery as well as any reimbursements during the specified post-operative interval related to the index surgery. 2009;91(3):220-223. The authors concluded that patients undergoing open RCR were at increased risk of 90-day surgical-site infection and MUA both within 2 years and within 5 years of surgery in this study cohort. Manipulation under anesthesia has been used for refractory cases of frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) (Dias et al, 2005). J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong). padding: 15px; Wang JP, Huang TF, Ma HL, et al. Forearm, wrist, & hand (acute & chronic), not including carpal tunnel syndrome.

Participating providers are independent contractors in private practice and are neither employees nor agents of Aetna or its affiliates. Araghi et al (2010) have used a technique of elbow examination (manipulation) under anesthesia in select patients after surgical release to assess the smoothness of the articulation, evaluate stability, and to stretch the flexion and rotation arcs. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for MUA was 6,984 per additional quality-adjusted life-year (QALY), and this intervention was probably 86 % cost-effective at the threshold of 20,000 per QALY. In this procedure, the knee is forcefully flexed and extended manually to break up scar tissue to improve knee range of flexion and extension respectively. 2008;37(11):1065-1072. The investigators reported that there was no significant difference in the mean improvement in flexion when patients who had manipulation within12 weeks post-operatively were compared with those who had manipulation more than12 weeks post-operatively. Guidelines from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2007, 2008) and the Work Loss Data Institute (2011) state that spinal manipulation under anesthesia is not recommended. CA: Work Loss Data Institute; 2011. Diduch DR, Scuderi GR, Scott WN, et al. Glenohumeral intraarticular injection combined with saline dilation is indicated for patients with greater than 50% loss of ROM despite a trial of physical therapy, subacromial injection, or both (Jacobs et al, 1991). Evidence of spinal manipulation under anesthesia is of low quality, consisting primarily of case reports and uncontrolled case series.
