I'm 4 weeks post op tomor and yet to start physio! I hear from everyone on hear about how good/bad their bend is how do you know? I do post op exercises each day and don't find them too bad pain wise! The one where you sit on edge of chair and slide your bad leg back towards you is easiest for me and I can virtually tuck my leg under the chair? Hardest thing seems to be straightening the leg but to be honest knee feels tight as a drum today and coping badly with sciatica as well so not feeling the love?

Straightening is usually linked to muscles so make sure to stretch.
I'm 18 weeks post up and due to have further surgery in 4 weeks to cut away muscle adhesions. I'd like anyone else to avoid the complications and pain that I've had/still having.

One exercise that really helped me was sitting on the edge of a bed putting the new knee leg as straight as I could with my foot flat against the wall and massaging knee with bio oil then lying back and letting gravity take over. This took many weeks but now have a more or less straight leg
The bending was done at night in bed. I would curl good leg then try and get NKL as near to it as I could I now have a 115 bend not perfect but getting there slowly
Onwards and upwards
