One month after the patella is removed and internally fixed, it is usually not possible to recover completely, but basic life activities such as gradual walking can be carried out.
One month after the patella is taken out of internal fixation, it takes time to heal because the local nail channel is empty. Generally speaking, after 1 month, the local bone scab is formed initially, but not completely stable, in a short period of time, we need to use crutches or supports to walk on the ground with weight, avoid strenuous exercise to avoid reoccurrence of fracture. But at this time, you can gradually walk on the ground to exercise the knee joint function to avoid local joint adhesion.
After the patella is removed from the internal fixation, patients are recommended to go to the hospital for regular review of the knee joint anteroposterior and lateral radiographs to understand the healing of the patella, and judge the recovery and the next exercise according to the results of the examination.
