Why can't I lift my feet up after a kneecap fracture?

The injured leg doesn't lift, thus not enabling me to walk

A kneecap fracture can result in significant pain and swelling, and it can also cause damage to the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can result in difficulty lifting your feet and walking normally.

In addition, the healing process following a kneecap fracture can take several months, and during this time, you may need to wear a brace or use crutches to help support your knee and protect it from further injury. Physical therapy can also be an important part of your recovery process, and may help you regain strength and mobility in your knee.

If you're experiencing difficulty lifting your feet after a kneecap fracture, it's important to seek medical advice and follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and recovery. This may include rest, physical therapy, pain management, and other therapies designed to help you recover from your injury and regain normal function in your knee.

Um, this is probably something you should talk to your doctor about, but some brief experimentation just now (which made me very glad that no one else is in the house) showed me that you can still goose-step without moving your knees. Have you tried that?

Likely because you need PT.
