I have a question about knee flexion. In the early stage of knee osteoarthritis -where full knee flexion cannot be achieved, say, only to 115 or 120 deg.-- what is the anatomical reason for the decrease in ROM. Is it a mechanical block from, say, osteophyte growth, or is it hydraulic pressure from too much synovial fluid, or something else?
So thorough. I hope my doctor is that thorough.
Perfect 💯
