Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intra-articular adhesion post knee surgery is a common and serious complication. It is a challenge problem for orthopedic surgeon. Verapamil (VP), a widely applied calcium channel blocker, has been proved to be able to prevent synthesis/secretion of extracellular matrix molecules.
