Analysis reveals a potential link between low-grade infections and arthrofibrosis in knee replacements, suggesting further research is needed.
Arthrofibrosis is a well-known complication of arthroplasty. However, the underlying causes that may lead to this pathology are unclear. A possible relationship between undiagnosed low-grade infections and the development of arthrofibrosis has been proposed (Ibrahim et al., 2020). This study aims to investigate whether colonization of the joint by low-virulence pathogens may cause arthrofibrosis.
