Abstract Knee stiffness is not uncommon following knee surgeries. A stiff knee alters the normal gait of the person and is a recognized cause of social humiliation for the patient. Due to its minimal invasiveness, arthroscopic management is gaining popularity among surgeons and patients. Arthroscopy has the potential to treat the majority of the non-bony causes of knee stiffness without much hassle of open surgeries. However, arthroscopic management is not devoid of its limitations and complications. So, awareness of arthroscopic management of knee stiffness and its clinical outcomes is of paramount importance to a practising knee surgeon.
