Can knock knees be fixed without surgery and what are the best home exercises to correct them I'm worried about my condition and want to know if natural treatments actually work
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, knock knees can be fixed by doing exercises that strengthen the muscles around the hips, thighs, and knees. These exercises, such as wall squats, leg raises and lying abduction, can help correct the alignment by improving muscle balance and joint stability.

View allJust got my MRI results showing a partial thickness tear in the midsubstance of my ACL what are my best non-surgical options for recovery? Really worried about how this might affect my mobility long-term
For a partial ACL tear in the mid-substance, non-surgical treatment often involves physical therapy, activity modification, and potentially a brace. The goal is to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve stability, potentially preventing long-term issues. While a partial tear can be managed non-surgically, it's crucial to understand that some individuals may still experience long-term issues like instability or other complications.

My knee cap has gotten really thin and I'm on medication right now but I'm worried about surgery since I heard replacements only last around 10 years - is it worth going through with it or should I try other options first
hope you are not in a lot of pain. What do you mean by saying that your knee cap is thin ? Do you mean that the cartilage is worn out ? You might have chondromalacia patella. Please consult an Orthopaedic surgeon

I had a complete ACL tear two years ago and haven't had surgery yet should I consider getting it done now? What are the risks if I leave it untreated and how might it affect my mobility long-term?
The knee might heal—the swelling and pain will stop. But a torn anterior cruciate ligament does not reattach or heal itself. You may still be able to live how you want by strengthening your leg and core (your hips contribute to leg strength and function) and adjusting your activities.
