I broke my leg and misaligned a partial knee. I had surgery that implanted a plate with six screws on my leg and my partial knee was restructured. I ve been non weight bearing for 8 weeks. I can now bear weight as tolerated. what can i do to regain strength in my leg and begin to walk again?
Hello, You have taken rest for 8 weeks which is needed for fracture to heal. But during this period non use of muscles leads to wasting of calf and thigh muscles and stiffness of knee. Physiotherapy is needed to regain knee range of motion and to gain muscle strength. Please visit physiotherapist nearby you for assessment and to schedule physiotherapy regimen for you. Also Advise from your operating surgeon regarding physiotherapy should be taken. Exercises needed are knee range of motion, Ankle range of motion, Qua Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query.
