I had patella tendon repair 8 weeks ago and the knee is warm to touch i can bend 60-70 degrees ?

To some degree: Some degree of inflammation and subsequent increased warmth is normal after a patellar tendon repair, but if it starts feeling red, hot, or associated with a lot of swelling or discharge it could be s sign of infection and you would need to make sure your surgeon is aware.
