Patella fracture
My aunty fell down at door step and her right led patella has broken. We have taken her to nearby hospital and there surgery happened. Broken patella is Integrated with a sting now. After surgery she is able to fold her leg max upto 90 degree not more than that. Now question is in future is there any hope that she will be able to fold her leg fully? By any surgery or medication or physio therapy? Please advise. Thanks
