At this point he really wants her to start using her leg and doing PT so we can see where she is at. He is hoping she gets the last 10-15 degrees of range of motion in her knee back from PT.
We asked about why Mary's knee "locks up" once she has been sitting. When she stands up she has to push down on her thigh so she can begin to walk. He thinks it is re-aligning her bones.
Mary wanted to know when the 8 plate will be removed and he is guessing a year from now.
I asked about the 2 marks on the front of her shin (one was discovered after the last cast was removed and the other one showed up later - it might be a scratch) he is guessing they are from poor blood flow in that area.
Good news is he doesn't want to see us for 2 months unless something comes up.

| 2 months after surgery June 2014- I can't tell from the x-ray that the foot is straighter but it does look straighter in real life |

| Picture in the parking lot- this is as straight as she can get her leg at the moment. |

| She was off riding her bike that afternoon |
