You can fly but however the swelling and hence pain and inflammation may increase. You would need to take medications and preacautions for the same. Also select a comfortable leg room seat wherein if required you can stretch your leg forward. Also since you are travelling be very carefull about the follow up with your orthopedic surgeon.
