Hello Gentle man
As you mentioned that you had past knee surgery but youbdid not mention that any implnt is there or not.
And how much you can fold your leg?? Which movement is restricted? Please write in detail so that I can help you.
If any implant is there so now it's not possible to regain full range of motion of knee joint but you can free your joint by doing some wrokout of knee joint
It's been long gap so now difficult to fold your leg fully still we can have some range if it is restricted due to tightness of muscle.
Next Steps
you need proper guidance and exercise program.

Hi.. so with a history of knee surgery 10 years ago it is difficult to get the knee bending now. But if you can start with the knee exercises under a proper supervision could be a little helpful. Keep your knee active by doing all the exercises that you were doing earlier.

Hard to say how much of tightness is contracture unless we check the movement.
However, sometimes the knee goes into rotation and movements are restricted as a result. We could help in this regard. A proper physical assessment is needed to give you any further guidance.
We are located at
Physiowise, Bangalore, HRBR layout 1st block.
