Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After a multiple injury of the femur and tibia, knee stiffness is likely. Hot fomentation and regular physiotherapy will help in increasing the knee movement in 8-10 weeks. You can consult a proficient physiotherapist for this.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
