My grandmother fell and broke her hip bone she can't sit or stand now. The local village doctor said her blood level is only 23 and surgery might not help because of her age. What's the best way to increase her blood levels and help heal her broken hip bone at home?

Raise hemoglobin with iron-rich food, supplements, and transfusions if needed; consult ortho about non-surgical hip support options.

Had surgery for giant cell tumor removal from my distal femur knee area on 14/4/2022 with extended curettage cementing plating. It's been 3 weeks but I can only bend my knee around 75-80 degrees and feel heaviness near the surgical site. Is this recovery pace normal or should I be concerned about my knee's range of motion?

ortho opinion is advised to the patient.

My doctor said I have a fracture in my ankle and foot and recommended surgery, warning that without it there's a 30-35% chance of developing arthritis. I'm not sure what to do should I go ahead with the surgery or are there other options?

If surgery is recommended due to the risk of arthritis, it‚Äôs worth considering to prevent long-term complications. Consult a second opinion if unsure about the surgery or explore non-surgical alternatives like a cast or brace.
