If the fracture is displaced or unstable, K-wire surgery is the standard approach. Minor, stable fractures can sometimes be managed with casting. Get a second opinion with X-ray.

Had surgery for giant cell tumor removal from my distal femur knee area on 14/4/2022 with extended curettage cementing plating. It's been 3 weeks but I can only bend my knee around 75-80 degrees and feel heaviness near the surgical site. Is this recovery pace normal or should I be concerned about my knee's range of motion?

ortho opinion is advised to the patient.

Tore my ACL in November and decided against surgery for now Ive been using a brace and doing bodyweight exercises plus stationary bike workouts Recently started running on the treadmill pain-free but now getting bad aching pain in my upper calf on the same leg Could this be related to the ACL injury or just a coincidence

Also repeat MRI Scan is advised to the patient to find out extent of the injury.An orthopedician opinion is advised. Analgesics are advised for the pain relief, tab aceclofenac twice daily for about 5 days .
