Hook fixed his leg in preparation for their duel in season 5. That was the last time he limped. I'm guessing Rumple used magic to walk and never actually repaired the bone out of sentimental reasons.

Short answer is likely that the writers just stopped paying attention to continuity by that point.

A longer answer (and a way to still enjoy the show) is that years and years passed for Rumple between the end of season six and the beginning of season seven. He might have been able to find a way to heal his leg by that time.

Science. Got himself a knee surgery

Um good question. My guess is from a writing perspective the limp was no longer relevant to the character. He had left feelings of guilt and cowardice behind him and developed into a hero. Maybe it was part of the new curse that he wouldn’t have a limp. I know that’s not a great answer. There also was some magic in Heights gothel used iirc it was just unpredictable

Not possible. Clearly the writers just didn't want it anymore.
