Motion loss continues to be a difficult complication after ligament injury and surgery to the knee. A better understanding of the pathoanatomic causes of motion loss can lead to improved prevention and treatment strategies. When motion loss does occur, early recognition and appropriate treatment can be expected to restore motion and improve function in most patients. Treatment options, although varied, should improve outcome when implemented appropriately. This article is composed of two parts. The first part reviews the current concepts on definitions, incidence, and causes of motion loss. In the second part, to be published later, current strategies on prevention and treatment of motion loss after ligament injury to the knee are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on risk factors and prevention as well as on diagnosis and treatment. The article summarizes the latest information from the basic sciences as well as clinical studies on the problem of motion loss of the knee and attempts to provide a rational approach to these difficult clinical problems. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current concepts on motion loss of the knee, placing particular emphasis on the causes, prevention, and treatment. The article is in two parts. This first part will discuss causes of motion loss after ligament injury or surgery. The goals of the first article are to discuss normal and abnormal knee kinematics and to define terminology for motion problems of the knee. Known risk factors, causes, and pathoanatomy will be discussed in detail, summarizing the current and pertinent studies on this difficult clinical
