I have done proximal tibia surgery after fracture. Now my knee has little swelling and it is very stiff. I can't bend it beyond 90�. What is the time frame within which it should bend to normal 130� and how to do it? Should the physiotherapist do it forcibly. My leg still feels very heavy and surgery was done on 8th march.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Recovery time for a tibia fracture typically takes 4-6 months to heal completely. If the fracture is open or comminuted, healing time may take longer. Your doctor will often prescribe medications for pain-relief for a short period of time after the injury or surgery. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
