dear sir, few months back, i got left patella fracture. partial patellectomy was done along with k wire. now i have weakness in anterior thigh muscles. little wasting is there.. how to overcome the problem? after 1 year k wire will be removed. after removal will i get the power in muscles back? and will the pain in knee reduce?
Hello, If K wire is prohibiting your movement at knee then removal after union will surely regain your power at your knee. After removal your doctor will teach you some exercises which will be range of movement and strengthening exercises. Although it may take some time, but it helps in gaining range of movement as well as power. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
