As one year has passed, the fracture would have healeld for sure. You have not described exactly about the surgery, fracture site and the type of fracture, it gives a better idea.Physiotherapy to increase the strength was done after surgery??.. If not, that is the main problem as it increase the strength, co-ordination, range as well balance, it decreases the pain and inflammation.
Next Steps
Go to a physiotherapist.. Vigrous an gradual exercises for almost 2-3 months are needed.
Health Tips
At home.. Avoid stressing the knee.
