Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you had got comminuted fracture of patella for which you was operated by orthopedic surgeon . Now you developed stiffness of knee joints.Its treatment is mobilization exercises of knee joint. If you doesn't get improved by it then operative release can be done. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovering. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
