I'm a 41-year-old woman with obesity and just had a complete ACL tear. It's been two weeks and my ortho said surgery isn't urgent could even wait a year. How long until I can walk normally again? I'm not super active but love swimming, walking, and dancing will I still be able to do those without surgery?

First of all, acl ligament tear will not heal by its own ..ligament recreconstruction is the only solution in your case and also then only u can carry out your sports type activities. Second thing waiting for such a long time is not advisable as internal derangement may lead to medial meniscus tear and early arthritis changes due to cartilage erosion..so better to go for arthroscopic acl reconstruction as soon as possible till that time keep doing quadriceps strengthening excersises andROM excersises that will help you in post operative rehabilitation.

I'm 24 and have bow legs what's the estimated cost for surgery, how long does recovery usually take, and what are the success rates like? I'm a bit worried about the whole process and want to understand what to expect.

Surgical correction for bow legs (osteotomy) typically costs between ‚Çπ1.5 to ‚Çπ3 lakhs per leg in India, depending on the hospital and surgeon. Recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months, including physiotherapy. Success rates are high (over 90%) with proper post-op care. It's normal to feel anxious, but most patients are satisfied with the results.

I recently had a collision while playing football, and unfortunately, I didn't wear my guard. I got hit on my shin bone, and now it's swollen and painful to walk. I've had shin bone injuries in the past, but this one is the worst. What can I do to help it heal?

Considering your obstetric history and current pregnancy, I'll provide a brief assessment: *Obstetric History* 1. *Previous deliveries*: 1st C-section at 33 weeks, 2nd SVD (spontaneous vaginal delivery) at full term, and 3rd C-section at 36 weeks. 2. *Gap between 3rd and 4th pregnancy*: 8 years. 3. *Current pregnancy*: 34 weeks 2 days, cephalic presentation, placenta anterior. *Key Considerations* 1. *VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section)*: Given your previous C-sections, VBAC is a possibility, but it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider. 2. *Gestational diabetes*: You're on insulin (5050, 20x10), which indicates gestational diabetes. This condition may impact delivery options. 3. *Placenta anterior*: This placental position may increase the risk of placenta previa or postpartum hemorrhage. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a healthcare provider*: Discuss your obstetric history, current pregnancy, and delivery options with your healthcare provider. 2. *Assess VBAC eligibility*: Your healthcare provider will evaluate your suitability for VBAC based on your medical history and current pregnancy. 3. *Develop a birth plan*: Create a birth plan that outlines your preferences for delivery, pain management, and postpartum care. 4. *Regular prenatal check-ups*: Continue with regular prenatal check-ups to monitor your pregnancy and adjust your birth plan as needed.
