Abstract

In conclusion, AMI is a process in which quadriceps activation failure is caused by neural inhibition and is common following knee injury or surgery. Not taking AMI into account preoperatively can result in a very high risk of stiffness postoperatively. We propose a classification for AMI following knee injury or surgery, which describes different presentations and can be used to guide management.
