A Stage Zero of adhesion band formation with visual score system assessment, note that there is no adhesion band seen, Also no synovium proliferation is observed. B Stage one of adhesion band formation with visual score system assessment, note that there is minimal adhesion band formed. C Stage two of adhesion band formation with visual score system assessment, note that there is moderate adhesion band formation needs manual traction for releasing. D Stage three of adhesion band formation with visual score system assessment, note that joint is completely stiff and needs surgical release, while also synovium proliferation is observed; (Black arrow indicator of the femoral articular surface; Blue arrow indicator of the tibial articular surface; Yellow arrow indicator of dense adhesion band)
