The methods of breaking down scar tissue that forms during the healing process after unicompartmental knee surgery is essentially the same as the process of breaking up scar tissue after total knee arthroplasty. That is to say that movement of the knee and specifically working on range of motion exercises will cause the scar tissue to break down in such a way that allows for good range of motion in the knee which has been shown to be linked with success of the total knee arthroplasty and lower levels of pain.
