Thanks for contacting HCM. Exercise the v v v v IMPORTANT. Exercise for Quadriceps, Hamstring and Calf are all important. Also do the same for the unaffected leg too. Walk regularly w/o weight bearing on affected leg. With consultation of the operating surgeon you could start with partial weight bearing. Exercise for Hip muscles also is very keen. Thanks
