If the injury is fully healed you can recieve myofacial massage to help promote healthy scar tissue in the area. This would increase the flexiblity of the knee, reduce stiffness, and help increase blood and lymph flow to the area. Another way would to do non-weight-bearing exercise like swimming. This would strengthen the knee with out putting pressure on it.

Your knee is one of the most used joints in your body. To help with pain after any type of break, ice is always recommended. Heat can irritate inflammation making the pain worse. If the pain is persistent you could also try to get steroid shots from your doctor. You will want to keep a close eye on this.
