People adjust and lead normal life with plates, screws etc after sugeries.
Start your movements slowly as you have stiffness, which is the effect of immobilisation due to the operation. Take care!
Movements would be limited but still you can do things, we advice you to be slow and with gaining strength and decreasing pain and with physiotherapy you will be able to run slowly. Take care!
