What Is The Recovery Time For Tibial Contusion With Small Impaction Fracture?
30 yrs very active female with RIGHT KNEE ANTERIOR TIBIAL PLATEAU HIGH-GRADE CONTUSION WITH SMALL IMPACTION FRACTURE. NO OVERLYING CARTILAGE DISRUPTION. FOCAL CONTUSION OF THE ANTERIOR MEDIAL ASPECT OF THE MEDIAL FEMORAL CONDYLE WITH PROBABLE OVERLYING CARTILAGE THINNING. SMALL KNEE EFFUSION. In knee brace w crutches until an ortho can fit me in. How long am I off of it? I m afraid to bend it, but weight bearing doesn t hurt, barely swollen now. These crutches are awful.

Dear patient
Impaction fracture of anterior tibial plateu and femoral condyle takes at least one month to heal at your age. Till that time it has to be protected in long knee extension brace and weight bearing should be avoided. Knee range of motion exercises can be started after 10 days once pain is relieved.
All the best.
