Are biodegradable screws actually worth it for ACL surgery and how much do they cost per piece Is there a more affordable treatment option available
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Biodegradable screws can be a good option for ACL surgery, but they are generally more expensive than metal screws and may have potential complications like screw breakage or tunnel widening. While metal screws can cause MRI distortion or complications in revision surgery, they are generally more affordable. Screwless fixation techniques are also available, which may offer a more cost-effective approach with faster recovery

I'm experiencing some pain when I'm either standing up or lying down, specifically in my leg near my stomach. It seems to hurt even more when I put pressure on it. There's no blood or anything like that, but should I be concerned about this? What could be causing the pain?

I'm 18 and have bow legs that seem to be getting worse. I don't want surgery but cycling is getting harder even though I've been doing it for weeks. Are there any physical exercises that can actually help fix bow legs or at least stop them from getting worse? I don't have pain yet but I'm worried it might start soon. What would you recommend?
While exercises cannot permanently fix bow legs (Genu Varum), they can help manage symptoms and potentially slow their progression. For an 18-year-old with bow legs, a combination of strengthening, stretching, and mobility exercises can be beneficial
