    Only if there is stiffness within the knee joint thats causing limited movement.

    Re: knee locked straight due to fractured femur and fracture to patela

    In he original query nothing has been mentioned regarding the site and type of fracture of the femur and patella and whether it was managed conservatively or surgically.The cause of knee locked straight is not due to he fracture as stated but it is due to post immobilization stiffness. After a detailed clinical examination and evaluation it possible to manipulate the knee joint manually.
