Analysis of natural causes of knee arthrofibrosis development after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and its prevention is presented. Classification of arthrofibrosis basing on the arthroscopic, clinical and MRT examination results is given. Clinical-arthroscopic manifestations and morphologic picture of various forms of arthrofibrosis, particularly "infrapatellar contracture" and «cyclops» syndromes, are considered in details. Preventive recommendations are worked out.
