every fracture creates muscle weakness after removal of POP as it remains immobilzed for a long time and pain, stiffness are also because of this. it causes limp in walking as well as lack of co-ordination lack of joint range
(full bending and straightening of the knee).
Next Steps
go for physitherapy..ultrasonic therapy for healing,tens for muscle relaxation and wax therfapy for reducing inflammation may required . take rest. then the exercises are to be done and very much important(strengthening+stretching+co-ordination).
Health Tips
at home: give rest to the knee,avoid full weight bearing to the injured knee and hot water fomentation and some painkiller gel are temporarily helpful.
