It takes 1~3 months to recover after the wire is removed from the patella after secondary surgery.

After the second patella surgery to remove the wire, generally about 14 days after the operation can be removed sutures, walking on the ground activities, but should avoid strenuous exercise and weight bearing. 1~3 months later, can gradually return to normal function.
Patellar fracture is a common traumatic disease in knee trauma, mainly due to direct or indirect violence on the patella, thus causing patellar rupture, different types of violence lead to different types of fracture.
The treatment of patellar fracture focuses on protecting the function of the patella, restoring the continuity of the knee extension device, and reducing the related complications. For transverse patellar fractures with no displacement or displacement less than 0.5cm, conservative treatment is often adopted; those with obvious fracture displacement require active surgical intervention.
