Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello/Namaste

I have read your query,


I will advise you to use supportive walker with partial weight bearing on affected leg.

Unsupported walking with limp will aggravate symptoms and results later on.

Do not worry about knee flexion now. Once healing is complete start guided physiotherapy and exercises to get good end results.

Take vitamin C, calcium and vitamin D supplement for early healing
you can take physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
