With definitive fixation knee bending exercises should be started almost immediately otherwise the knee will become stiff. Please discus with your operating surgeon on how to get the knee to bend. If you are not satisfied with his treatment then please meet another surgeon to plan on methods to mobilise the joint which can be
1. Mobilisation under anaesthesia
2. Arthroscopic arthrolysis and mobilisation under anaesthesia
3. Quadricepsplasty
The plan of action can be ascertained only after proper examination
