Matrix Biol. When arthrofibrosis affects the knee symptoms become intensified during walking and standing, and the condition is frequently more debilitating than the original injury or degenerative condition.5 Even a small loss of knee extension of 5 creates difficulties in walking while a loss of flexion creates problems with stair climbing, sitting, getting in and out of chairs6 and cars and driving.

Recent developments in myofibroblast biology: paradigms for connective tissue remodeling. Koeck, F. X. et al. The debilitating disease, which affects more than 20 percent of adults in the United States, is the leading cause of disability in the nation. Daidzein reduced ROS and levels of TGF- and when given subcutaneously to rats, reducing lung fibrosis.150, Some of the dietary compounds mentioned above also change epigenetic modifications, and were recently reviewed by Khan et al.281, Vitamin D is required for immune system homoeostasis, reducing TGF-, suppressing the Th17 profile, and supporting regulatory T cells that suppress autoreactive T cells.304 Vitamin D deficiency is correlated with fibrosis of the liver and vitamin D3 inhibits the production of collagen type 1 in the liver305 and in the lung.306 This suggests that this important vitamin may be a useful anti-fibrotic agent.103, Fibrosis may be promoted by a reduced dietary intake of potassium (K+) and low serum K+ levels were associated with liver fibrosis.307 K+ efflux from cells can result from cellular damage and the release of adenosine triphosphate.308 Upregulation of the intermediate/small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel alters the membrane potential of cells and promotes fibrogenesis, with effects including higher levels of Ca2+ entry into cells and expression of Ca2+-dependant growth factor genes, cyclins and kinases involved in cell division.309 High-intracellular levels of Ca2+ are associated with cardiac fibrosis202and KCa3.1 silencing in animal models of renal fibrosis decreased the numbers of myofibroblasts and attenuated the development of fibrosis.310 This result appears to be mediated via the Smad2/3 pathway, since KCa3.1 blockade reduced levels of TGF-1, and TGF-1 receptor II.311. Arthrofibrosis. 97, 15441553 (2018). 2017, 16 (2017). Some patients on the website KNEEguru report good results,241 however, there are few large well-controlled trials, and more research is needed to determine how effective these methods are.326, Interventions that increase tissue vascularisation may slow the progression of fibrotic processes.13 A small study involving three patients undergoing revision TKR for arthrofibrosis suggested that low dose irradiation prior to surgery may result in improved ROM.30. Yagi, H. et al. Women have stronger innate and adaptive immune responses than men, leading to increased rates of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.66 The corollary is that women have around half the risk of serious post-surgical septic infection,69 possibly because oestrogen upregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1 and IL-6.70 Transforming growth factor (TGF-), the primary driver of fibrosis, is also upregulated and activated by progesterone and oestrogen,71 driving an increase in Treg cells at ovulation.72 Because immune system dysfunction and acute inflammation cause fibrosis,2 the higher rates of arthrofibrosis in women is likely due to these immunological differences between the genders.

Following bilateral TKR a 45-year-old female immediately began intensive post-operative use of CPM in addition to exercise rehabilitation. Clinically, arthrofibrosis is characterized by limited joint motion and pain [13].

Although arthrofibrosis is often attributed to surgery, it can be caused by injury alone.19 This may be particularly true for shoulder arthrofibrosis (frozen shoulder), where the cause is often not known,20 but which may result from repeated small injuries over time, or damaged structures that place ongoing stress on the joint.21 The extent of involvement of the joint varies greatly.

However, M2 macrophages secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10 and IL-13, and are important in the resolution of inflammation.120, Recent research shows that distinct macrophage populations may control the initiation, maintenance and resolution of fibrosis.81 Macrophages are an important source of the pro-fibrosis mediators TGF-, IL-1 and PDGF.46 PDGF promotes the migration, proliferation and survival of myofibroblasts,121,122 and upregulates TGF- synthesis by fibroblasts.123 In addition, the production of IL-1 by macrophages can stimulate inflammasomes in the lung.46 Macrophages may be able to regulate ECM synthesis independently of TGF-,119,124 however, macrophages are also involved in the resolution of fibrosis via multiple mechanisms, including the clearing of excess collagen from damaged tissues and the secretion of collagenases that degrade ECM components.81. which can restrict joint movement and cause significant pain and disability.

This suggests that the mechanical forces created by CPM reduce inflammation and pain, and may reduce damage to cartilage. Inflammasomes directly and indirectly activate matrix production and fibrogenesis in tissue,98 and activate macrophages via production of IL-1.98 It is of interest that IL-1 can stimulate NF-kB and p38 MAPK pathways and the resulting transcription of inflammatory cytokines including IL-6,120,135 perhaps leading to another feedback loop between inflammasome activation, IL-1 secretion and TGF- production. B. et al. CAS However, there are no specific diagnostic tests for CRPS, and no clinical features that identify it.54,55 Consequently, the diagnosis of CRPS is made in the absence of other explanations for pain and swelling, and it remains a controversial diagnosis.54,55, Without publically available blood tests for arthrofibrosis, it seems likely that many patients that have been diagnosed with CRPS do in fact have active arthrofibrosis and a dysregulated inflammatory response.

Other risk factors include pre-existing inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, including type II diabetes,20 ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis.7 One study found that patients with diabetes mellitus had increased rates of arthrofibrosis after a TKR,38 possibly due to a pro-inflammatory physiology. Robertson, I. Cancer 134, 10341044 (2014).

Intensive CPM use gradually increased flexion, however, the knee remained painful and intensive CPM use was required to maintain functional ROM. Increased ROM is the primary reason for CPM treatment, and of the ten trials that reported short term (06 weeks) effects on ROM, only five used a blinded assessor.236 Even fewer studies used a blinded assessor for the reported medium term (6 weeks to 6 months) and long-term (over 6 months) ROM.

Although fibrosis has been considered an irreversible condition, it is significant that some studies show that fibrosis can be resolved and sometimes reversed at least partially in animal models and humans, demonstrating that the synthesis and degradation of ECM is dynamic and can proceed in both directions.45,107,108,117,252 For example, in the knee, linear scarring sometimes occurs along the arthroscopic portal paths.

This cycle may be exaggerated by another effect of TGF-, the inhibition of the expression of antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione.101 The resulting higher levels of mitochondrial ROS significantly upregulates inflammatory cytokines and the production of inflammasomes.138 TGF- also regulates T cell differentiation and proliferation and the activation and development of natural killer cells.72, Following the binding of TGF- to its receptor complex, cytoplasmic signal transducer proteins called Smads are phosphorylated and promote the transcription of target genes in the nucleus.138,144 TGF- also signals via non-Smad pathways including the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway (for review see ref.
