Four months ago on May 8th, I had an accident that broke the bone in my polio-affected leg. The doctor did surgery and inserted a rod from my thigh bone to the knee with screws. Now my bones are healing and I've started walking, but I can't bend my knee at all. I've been doing wax therapy and some exercises, but it's still really hard to bend. What treatment would help me get my knee movement back?

I've been noticing that when I squat, my knees start to vibrate, but everything seems normal when I'm just walking, sitting, or standing. It's a bit concerning because there's also a popping sound when I bend my knees. Is this something to worry about, or could it just be normal?
