Hi,
From your history it seems that your muscles become stiff leading to restriction of movements.
Fracture at knee also might be a problem as well.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get physically examined.
Plan for treatment can be decided accordingly.
If there is no much problem at knee joint, regular physiotherapy will give you much improvement.
Ok and take care.
