What is recovery of knee function following fracture of the tibial plateau .

Thanks for the images. The important thing here is that the alignment of the tibial plateau looks very good indeed. This is why you have had such a fast recovery. Like all fractures you are at least 6 weeks to begin with for some healing to take place. You are looking about 12 months for full bone strenght to return. In between the brain will permit the slow restore of strength (ie currently it will be inhibiting your quads) to the muscles as it deems appropriate that the joint can withstand the forces. The key here is a steady progression. It seems you should be hill walking sometime during summer. As for jogging a little hard to call that one. Pick short term goals that are progressive. Jogging is a longterm on which will come

Thanks a lot for the replay. I am now walking with full weigh bearing. I even went for a wedding in another country for 6 days and I even danced ( I was careful though). I fell difficulties when I am going up and down the steps and cant do staff that I did before =, but its to early for that anyway.
WIll update more in a couple moths time. So all of you with similar injury just stay positive and don't be afraid to move your leg. Here is my picture while I am dancing.

Thanks a million dancing.jpg

Hello, I had a tibial plateau fracture 3 weeks ago, also skiing off piste, surgery in the Rangueil, Toulouse. Have 110 degrees rotation now so prognosis is good but I would like to know how many months it was between your fracture and driving/ jogging or until both legs felt the same.
