The doctor thinks I might have an ACL tear and meniscal tear in my right knee since I play professional club cricket and fitness is everything to me. Do I really need surgery for this? I'm worried about how it'll affect my performance after recovery will I be able to get back to playing at my full strength?

View allI've been dealing with a femur fracture from two months ago and had ORIF surgery. After about six weeks, I began walking with the help of a stick, and recently, around 23 days ago, I started walking without any support as my orthopedic consultant advised. The thing is, I'm still limping and there's an imbalance with my affected leg. How can I recover from this and get back to walking normally without a limp?
It is common to experience limping and imbalance while walking after a femur fracture and ORIF surgery. To help improve your balance and achieve normal walking, you can try physical therapy exercises to strengthen the muscles around your hip and thigh. Additionally, you can take pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any discomfort. Your doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine to help with muscle spasms. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
