Hello I Broke My Patella 11 Days Ago. It's Minimally
Hello
I broke my patella 11 days ago. It's minimally displaced but didn't require surgery. My doctor said as of 2 weeks I can use a hinge leg brace at 30 degrees ROM, then add 30 degrees every 2 weeks.
I'd like a second opinion, does that sound right?
Also do you think soaking in a hot Epsom salts bath will help to reduce swelling & speed up recovery?
Thank you
Adam
