Continue with the physiotherapy sessions and if not added add quadriceps release to your session following which it should be stretched to reduce loading. Keep on doing the hamstring and quadriceps strengthening with stretching sessions.

Hello......tension band wiring is done for fractured patella if fragments of bone are intact.....pain ,scar, stiffness are common complication of tension band wiring....i t is important to discuss with the staff and ask for pain killers if needed. Keeping the leg up (elevated) on a frame or even a footstool will reduce the pain and swelling.
