Had arthroscopy surgery 3 months ago for a small medial meniscus tear, trochlear dysplasia, and an ACL sprain but still dealing with pain, stiffness, and locking in my knee. The MRI also showed mild quadriceps tendinosis and a loose body in the joint. Why am I not recovering well and what should I do next?

View allI had surgery for a calcaneum fracture in my left leg one and a half months ago with 4 K-wires inserted and have been on a fiber plaster since then. I can move around with a walker but now the K-wires need to be removed. Will I have to get admitted to the hospital again for another surgery to take them out?
With the review of the X ray ,orthopaedic surgeon will decide whether fracture is United or not? If the fracture is United then k wire can be remove on the opd basis . After the removal of plaster there may be stiffness in ankle joint which require ankle rom exercises

Can you tell me more about piles surgery at this hospital? How long does the procedure usually take and what's the recovery like? I'm a bit worried and want to understand what to expect.
Piles surgery is usually a short daycare procedure with 1–2 weeks of recovery and minimal discomfort.

I've had a completely dissolved left hip joint for the past 13 years, which has made my left leg about one and a half inches shorter than my right. I just had a baby via C-section and am currently breastfeeding. When would be a safe time for me to get hip replacement surgery? Walking has become really difficult for me lately.
If you have recently delivered a baby through C section, you should wait for atleast three months to allow the body to recover. Even after three months, your blood tests and other investigations should be done and surgery should be performed only if you are medically fit for the same. Hip replacement is not an emergency and is an elective procedure. When performed by a Joint replacement surgeon/ Fellowship trained Orthopaedic surgeon, you will get excellent long term results.
