Specializes in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery

Range of motion: Pt for an injured knee with what would appear to have been a non displaced frac (seen only on mri) requires a patient to continue pt to prevent stiffness of the joint and help maintain muscle tone. Whether of not you can put all or part of your weight on the injured leg depends on your symptoms and the advice of your treating physician.
