Stiff knee after my cast is off due to a broken femur please help

[vam44]

I cant understand why anyone who has had a fractured femur wouldnt require some help with exercises and restoring normal function! You should insist on some help. With your fracture being reasonably close to the knee the joint was very likely to be swollen inside your cast. The exercises you should do will depend on how much flexion movement you have.

A physio should show you how to do good quadriceps exercise and how to stretch. It is quite normal for your whole leg to take a while to get back to full function.

i have had an appointment with the peadiatric physio and he has given me some exercise to do with my thigh muscles because it is really weak. he said he will refer me to do some hydrotherapy which will help me get me muscles going. but what im worried about is getting my knee to bend because it feels as though it is stuck together in the straight position i can bend it abit but not much. and what i dont understand is that my doctor said i will be able to bend the leg within 2days of the cast being removed its been 2weeks now im scared ill never bend my leg again
