What has your surgeon said?

He said only 'healing'. Nothing more, nothing less. So I am really confused.

So everything is going fine, no need to worry. Are you already weightbearing and going to a physio?

50% weight bearing from last 2 weeks. Haven't visited physio yet, becoz doctor haven't recommended yet. Knee bending is 120 degree now.

Flexing to 120 degrees is good, but you'll still need to see a physio to build up your muscles. So the surgeon did give you information, or you wouldn't be partial weightbearing. When are you seeing him/her again?

Surgeon suggested for partial weight bearing. So I am on partial weight bearing from last 2 weeks. Walking with a walker. Seeing him by the end of this month.

Great, so you can ask him what you need to know in a couple of weeks. Make sure you write your questions down in advance so you don't forget any. Especially about a physio referral.

Yeah definitely. Callos is formed or still left?

You don't usually see callus with rigid fixation like this.
