		<description><![CDATA[Knee replacement surgery is generally very safe and effective, but it is a major operation.  For unknown reasons, scar tissue formation within the knee joint may be excessive in some patients (a condition known as athrofibrosis).  This can result in joint pain and stiffness and reduced range of motion (ROM).
