Hello,

Since you met an accident which was having a direct impact on the knee I will request you to get it examined by an orthopedist. As injury to the knee and leg should not be ignored since they are major weight-bearing joints and bones.

I would even advice you to keep the knee immobilized and meet up the orthopedist at the earliest. Having done with X-ray should help reveal the bone status where it has any effects with the accident.

Please visit orthopedist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
