Experienced Surgeon with Arthrofibrosis Surgery in Turkey?
Hello! I was diagnosed with knee arthrofibrosis beginning of May 2026. I had a localized PVNS surgery back in 2022. I was able to achieve 120 degrees flexion after the surgery. Afterwards, I had an injury during a sports activity back in 2025 Feb. It led to pain &inflamation and my ROM reduced to 90 degrees. I have seen different Orthopedic Surgeons between 2025 Feb and 2025 July. Have taken two physical therapy as well during that time frame. I was diagnosed with arthroscopic fibrosis very recently by another surgeon (who did my PVNS surgery back in 2022). I hear experience in arthrofibrosis surgery is of crucial importance, have you heard of any surgeons with arthrofibrosis experience in Turkey? Thanks!

Hi Kayley - Thanks very much for your feedback! Yes, the recurrence of the PVNS was ruled out with the latest MRI beginning of the month. I have a rheumatologist appointment for next week and am planning to ask her/him for a cytokine panel blood test as recommended in IAA website. My surgeon recommended physical therapy to me for 4-6 weeks to see if my knee condition will improve before a surgery decision is made. I will definitely ask my surgeon if he is open to engage with IAA. Thanks again!
