Hai nothing to worry . patella comminuted fracture it takes 3 months for complete healing generally we remove pop after 6 weeks and give physiotherapy to prevent stiffness in knee dont worry do physiotherapy like wax bath swelling will reduce and strenthening excercise will improve the movement and walking . you have to wait for 5 more weeks for good recovery
