Low impact exercise: After being cleared by your treating doctor, start with low impact activities. Cycling and swimming are two good options.

Return Slowly: Once a fracture is healed you can resume full range of motion activities of the knee. Isometric exercises (like quad sets) can be the start. Partial weight bearing activities are first like: running in a pool or stationary cycling. If after 4-6 weeks these activities cause no discomfort you can resume full weight bearing activities like running . But start slow on a tread mill s best.
