Hi JT, I’m sorry to hear about your knee problems. I’m no expert, but I just did some online research and found some info that hopefully can help. This bit, from an article on microfracture rehabilitation, says “Range-of-motion is usually initiated early on after surgery. However, if the area of microfracture treatment is on the kneecap or within its groove, then motion will be limited for several weeks.” So maybe that explains why you aren't able to bend your knee yet. Here’s a link to the full article. Also, here is a list of exercises you can try to recover from a microfracture, from an orthopedic clinic. Hope this helps a bit… How goes the recovery? I hope you’ve made some progress over the last week!! Lisa
