A member asked:
What is the typical recovery time from a trebecular fx of the lateral femoral condyle?also what is the rehab period and what does it entail?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Weeks to months : Recovery time depends on the severity of the fracture. Avoid loading the knee to allow the inflammation and fracture to heal. Physical therapy would focus on range of motion and no impact activities until the pain subsides an in theory the fracture is healed.

Recovery time varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, smoker or not, blood sugar control, surgery or no surgery, the exact type of procedure, and post-operative and follow up care. Discuss it with your surgeon and get their opinion as to what they feel is a reasonable recovery time for you.
