I simply let the coaches know prior to starting the game that I did something to my knee and I would do the best I can to get out to make calls, but I might be making most of the calls from behind the plate. (They both agreed this would be ok).
Been there a couple of times. It sucks. I think you did all you could. Communication with coaches in advance is key.

Hardest call is the steal of second.
