Got xrays of both knees done today and the doctor recommended proximal fibular osteotomy surgery. Just wanted to check if this procedure is really necessary or if there are other options? The xrays are attached for reference

Proximal fibular osteotomy is done to offload medial knee arthritis—if early stage, braces or PRP may help; surgery is best for moderate-severe cases.

My heels have been really hurting and the X-ray shows heel spurs. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
Heel spurs are not typically treated surgically unless nonsurgical methods fail to relieve pain after a significant period, usually 9-12 months. Most people find relief from heel pain with non-surgical treatments like stretching, shoe inserts, and physical therapy
