If significant scar is blocking motion an arthroscopic release of the scar may be a reasonable consideration
If you were making improvements, you can continue with nonoperative treatment. If you're not making improvements, surgery would be better.
It depends on pathology in knee. See your surgeon. He might order new MRI to evaluate the cause of stiffness. It might be scar tissue. If its a lot of scar tissue then you might need surgery to clean it up. If its not much scar tissue then Physical therapy might help. It depends on your pain tolerance with PT. But if its already 6 months then its difficult situation. Rupesh Tarwala
