Patella fracture: Fracture of patella or rupture of quadriceps or patellar tendon can cause inability to extend the knee. Surgery must have corrected the problem. Physical therapy is useful and do not get discouraged. If moving in right direction then it will improve. Ask for frequent evaluation by PT to send to your doctor and you also see the doctor periodically to ascertain correct rate of progress.
