Depends on the surgery. After replacement--right away.
Depends on the type of surgery. Fracture or ligament repair. Please speak to your surgeon.
Depends on the surgery. Talk to your surgeon about his plans for walking after. It varies with the type of procedure.
You can walk immediately with crutches. If you are asking when you can put weight on the leg that you had surgery on, that depends on what type of surgery you had on the knee / knee cap, but most likely you are talking about a surgery for knee cap fracture (broken knee cap), in which case as long as your leg is properly braced and is prevented from bending at the knee by the brace, you can put weight on it right away as long as the pain allows you to.
Right away.
