At first, i need to know when the surgery was done means how much time has passed. If only 3-4 months have passed, you can think of increasing the range as well as strength but if it more than one year, chances are very less to get the results.
To increase the range your reports of the surgery as well as x-ray are very important. Never ever try to do it forcefully by yourself without the guidance and supervision of a competent orthopedic physiotherapist.
