Patella Fracture surgery

2021-11-26 16:34:10
I suffered patella fracture. I had my surgery on 12 November. Procedure - orif Tbw. I had my stitches removed on 24th November. After that, I am advised to walk with cane and try to bend my leg slowly and regain motion slowly. It is really difficult to bend it. Knee is really stiff. Should i take help from physiotherapy or try to regain motion myself. My surgeon didn't suggest me Physiotherapy. My next follow up visit is after one month. Any exercise i can do to regain motion.

Hello Stiffness of knee is expected after patella surgery. Continue the exercises and there is no harm in approaching a physiotherapist. Beware not to be aggressive with rehabilitation
