View allAfter a leg fracture, how long before someone can start playing sports again? My friend was advised to take a break for 4 weeks. Is that usually enough time?
The time it takes to recover from a leg fracture and resume playing sports or physical activities varies depending on the severity and location of the fracture, but generally, it can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks or even longer for more complex fractures, so your friend's 4-week rest period is likely just the initial phase of recovery

Is it possible to get both knees replaced in one surgery or do I have to wait between procedures How long would the gap need to be if they can't be done together
Yes, it's possible to get both knees replaced in one surgery, known as a simultaneous bilateral knee replacement, or to have them done separately, a staged bilateral knee replacement. The choice depends on your individual health, medical history, and surgeon's recommendations. If staged, a gap of several months is typically recommended between the surgeries
