Knee bend after femur plate fixation

2025-09-17 04:34:05
I recently underwent a distal femur plate fixation surgery with dual plates. It's been 40 days but still I am able to bend my knee up to 60 degrees with little pain. Initially I had a physio session and did exercise as per the session but still I can't bend the knee more than 70 degrees. Is it normal?
