Hi,
Since it was a significant injury followed by complicated surgery, it will take few months for things back to normal. Apart from occasional analgesic support, passive exercise and regular physiotherapy, nothing else is needed in my opinion. Your orthopedist can give more details.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
