Hi,
After the plaster is removed, you should go for physiotherapy to gain full range of knee movements. At the same time you should concentrate on regaining of power of thigh muscles. After this, you should go for sports activities gradually. Dictim is a gradual return to usual activities.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
