You have sustained a soft tissue injury to your knee. You may walk on your leg as comfort allows and may use crutches and/or a splint if supplied in A&E. Your knee may be swollen. Resting and elevating it will help. Take pain killers as prescribed. If you are worried that you are unable to follow this rehabilitation plan, or have any questions, then please phone the Fracture Care Team for advice. Soft tissue injuries can take approximately 3 months to heal and you will need to adjust your activity level until your movement returns and your pain has resolved.
