Low-grade infections as a potential contributor of arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty

<p>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 stud...
