Suggest Treatment For Knee Fracture

I had a bike accident on 3-Sep. The initial x-ray did not show any fracture still an knee aspiration was performed to get rid of the swelling. However on 9th the MRI was done which showed undisplaced tibial plateau fracture. I have been advised physiotherapy for 7 days. Today is the 4th day, still there is very mild swelling and I can t fold my knee completely. Should I be worried

Hi, Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you had knee injury.
MRI showed undisplaced tibial plateau fracture.
Its treatment in initial days is rest to part. I put my such patients in plaster slab /cast for 3weeks.After three weeks plaster will be removed and quadriceps exercises and mobilization exercises of knee will help in regaining movements of knee joints.
Analgesic ( ibuprofen) will be helpful in pain relief.
You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing.
Eat fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
