Anyone ever broke there femur and have knee injuries too? did full range of motion come back in leg?

i was in a car wreck, broke my femur and messed up my knee, right now i can only bend my knee so far and it hurts, im supposed to have surgry on my knee soon to have ligiments repaired, when i stand on my leg , my knee buckles, will the knee surgry fix my knee and give me my full range of motion back?

A friend of mine broke his humorous, and had the same problem with his elbow. He eventually got full motion back and was back to lifting weights after a year. After some physical theropy, you should be ok.
Reply:It might, but your physical therapist is really what is going to help you. My husband was in a car accident as well and it wasnt until he had physical therapy that is range of motion is actually better then this other leg.





Good Luck :-)
Reply:I was in auto accident 15 yrs ago broke my femur , dislocated my knee smashed my knee cap and damaged ligaments in my knee as well stretched 2 and snapped 1...after over 20 operations on my leg I am still left with an unstable knee that gives way without warning and intense pain most days..my range of movement in my knee joint is approx 95 degrees if I try forcing it further than this the pain is strong enough to make me black out ( the knee has been forced past 95 degrees often as I fall when it gives out) as for saying if the surgery will fix your knee I am sorry but only time will tell ...I wish you all the best and hope that your luck is better than mine was..
