   Our user asked: "Hello, I fractured my femur 4 weeks ago and I was wondering if its okay that I can only bend my leg 65 degrees? Will it progress over time? Thanks(: "

Ask a PT Response: "Are you referring to hip flexion or knee flexion? With hip flexion, it is best to consult with your surgeon to determine what your limitations or restrictions are. As far as progression, yes you should achieve additional range of motion over time."
