Hi there.
Your problem seems to be that of knee stiffness after operation.
Removal of the implant in your will definitely help provided your bone is fully united.
At the same sitting of surgery ask the surgeon if he could go for a knee manipulation to achieve full movement.
He can do so arthroscopically too if he has the expertise.
Intense physiotherapy will be required after the operation too.
Good luck
