Hello. A 2 week rest in a slab would usually be applied. Gradual weight bearing after that to a full weight bearing and range od movement after 6 weeks. This all depends on the actual xray of ur knee and leg. Time period will increse or decrese depending on type of plate and number or screws etc.. Thanks..
Next Steps
Post an xray for more accurate advice.!
