Question

My mom is 64 and has osteoporosis with knee pain in both legs. She had an accident 10 years ago and still has a rod in her left thigh that runs from the upper thigh to just above the knee. I'm wondering if the rod needs to be removed before she gets knee replacement surgery. Also, the doctor suggested replacing both knees what are the risks and success rates for someone with her condition?

Question

Is chondromalacia patella something that can ever be fully cured? I've been getting treatment for more than a year now. I've had an MRI, taken tablets, got HA injections, and even done physio, but I'm just not feeling the relief I was hoping for. I used to be super active in sports, and now I can't even jog. Can you please tell me honestly if there's a chance of curing it, or should I start thinking about adjusting my life around this? This is really important for me to know.

My grandmother fell and broke her hip bone she can't sit or stand now. The local village doctor said her blood level is only 23 and surgery might not help because of her age. What's the best way to increase her blood levels and help heal her broken hip bone at home?

Question

I have 2 dental implants and might need 2 more soon, but my doctor also recommended an MRI scan for recurring shoulder dislocations. Will the implants or any screws and plates from past ortho surgeries cause issues during the MRI because of the strong magnetic fields? I'm a bit worried about how safe it is.
