Please understand the principle why exercise therapy is important for such patient? As you learn to drive your car , one relearns how to use their legs after surgery. Exercises makes that learning easy and effective for you. Like stages of learning are there, different stages of rehabilitations are there and progression here is not based on time it is based on abilities achieved with exercises There is no single exercises to fix the entire issue
Next Steps
Consult a sports Physiotherapist
Health Tips
Do proper Physiotherapeutic exercises in a therapeutic gym at least for 6 weeks.

Yes there are exercises to be done under supervision to strengthen muscles. Few exercises are Heel Slides involve the extension of the knee without bearing any weight. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs outstretched. Slowly bend the injured knee while sliding your heel across the floor toward you. Slowly slide the foot back into the starting position and repeat 10 times. Isometric contraction of sqauts are also done seated. For this, you would need to sit on the floor with your injured leg extended and your other leg bent. Now slowly contract the quadriceps of the injured knee without moving the leg and hold for 10 seconds. Relax. Repeat 10 times. Prone Knee Flexion involves lying on your stomach with your legs straight. Now bend your injured knee and bring your heel toward your buttocks. Hold five seconds. Relax. Repeat 10 times. Heel raises are done while standing. Start by placing one hand on the back of a chair for balance. Now slowly lift the heel of your injured leg up, standing on your tiptoes. Stay there for five to 10 seconds. Slowly lower your heels. Repeat 10 times. Half Squats are done standing while holding a sturdy table with both hands. Placing your feet a shoulder’s width apart, slowly bend your knees and lower your hips into a half squat. Hold for 10 seconds and then slowly return to a standing position. Repeat 10 times.
