can arthroscopy scars cause impingement when straightening your knee?

[jaymes]

I know that they can cause a tight feeling when your knee is extended but how about a feeling of impingement below the knee area[inferior to the patella]?

Or is that more likely caused by fat pad impingement?

One can get scar tissue in the 'anterior interval' - see https://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEnotes/knee-dictionary/anterior-interval-arthrofibrosis and https://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEnotes/knee-dictionary/anterior-interval-release
