Yes, a tight hamstring can result from total knee replacement due to several factors, including altered biomechanics, changes in muscle activation patterns, and scar tissue formation around the knee joint. Post-surgery, patients may adopt compensatory movement patterns that can lead to muscle tightness or imbalances. Additionally, rehabilitation after surgery may focus more on strengthening the knee rather than stretching the hamstrings, potentially contributing to tightness. It's important for patients to engage in appropriate stretching and rehabilitation exercises to address this issue.
