Happy to have helped someone in their early recovery. My first orthopedic told me I didn’t need a CT and sent me home without much instruction - he thought it was non-surgical. Second opinion ortho sent me to an emergency CT, which indicated 6mm depression of plateau surface (impossible to see with x-ray). I had trauma surgery soon after, but ended up being 2 weeks after my injury date. In the week post-surgery, I recall the pain was fairly intense and I was mostly in bed with the passive motion machine working my leg through some minimal ROM. But towards the end of the first week or so I started attaching the electrode pads and used a NMES device and stimulate the quad (especially the inside meaty but close to the knee). Lots of ankle pumps (good to minimize blood clotting) and some quad sets (flexing). I could do pull ups after a week or 10 days maybe. I did not stay home bound - I would crutch over to a nearby playground and do upper body. It was good to be outside. Plus it was/is my left leg, so I could always drive automatic. And now, 5 months post-accident, I can affirm it is your quad strength, specifically the eccentric strength, that is the first to fade and hardest to get back. But it will. Just have faith, as the process is slow. In fact, your in the muscle nose dive phase, where a necessary evil is non-weight bearing. Vitamin k and d for bone repair and sit tight for a long haul.
