There is not fixed pattern of exercises and it depends on how com minuted fracture it is. Sow if there is no small pieces then you can walk with touching your toes. And if there are small multiple pieces then knee range of motion exercises. Remember that walking will help you in faster healing, just check with your doctor how much weight you can put.
