Trochleoplasty on right knee
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello, I am three weeks post op from a trochleoplasty o my right knee. almost all of my swelling has gone and am walking with no pain. I cannot bend my knee at all. My surgeon said that I should have full use of my knee by this stage but not to worry until 6 weeks post op and hopefully i will be bending by then. Has anyone had problems bending their knee. What do they do if you cannot bend after you have recovered? thanks

I had Total Knee Replacement nearly 4 years ago having previously had operations on both knees due to patella dislocation.
I had trouble bending my knee afterwards and had quite a lot of physiotherapy.
I am not a medical person so am reluctant to give you particular exercises which may not be right in your circumstances. Maybe you should go to GP and get referred to physiotherapy.
Take care and keep in touch

I had to have a manipulation many years ago after an operation on my knee. It was very painful when I came round but pain soon wore off and it did work.
Let me know how you get on.

Hey Natalie, I'm a week and a half post op which was mosaicplasty and a proximal patella realignment. Im 24 y/o based in UK. I know they're not the same procedure but I'm also undergoing the same rehab protocol, trying to tense quad and then bend my knee. I can reach 30 degrees now with some effort, due to see my consultant in two weeks to change my ROM hopefully to 50/60 degrees. Knee is still pretty swollen and I've tried resting, icing etc, it seems that the swelling is at the back of my leg where bruising is also the worst. I'll let you know how I get on with rehab and see whether I have any luck or tips for you
