Any fracture around the joint (knee) will cause some restriction of movement - but this usually resolved with time if the fixation is done properly . Sometimes the nature of the injury might predispose to movement restriction The implant as such shouldn’t ideally cause movement restriction ,
Next Steps
Get regular and Physiotherapy
