Short summary
Arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a challenging complication. We analysed 19 TKA cases, isolating low-virulence pathogens in 43 % of them. Although a causal link with low-grade peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is unconfirmed, our findings support its potential role in arthrofibrosis. If validated, this could shift the therapeutic approach toward PJI-oriented management.
