View allDoes using a plate and screw for a bone fracture help prevent needing another surgery later if the bone breaks again
Using plates and screws (internal fixation) for a bone fracture can help prevent the need for another surgery if the bone breaks again, but it's not a guarantee. Internal fixation provides stability, which can reduce the risk of further fractures and malunion (bone healing incorrectly). However, factors like the severity of the original fracture, the individual's healing process, and other medical conditions can still influence the likelihood of a re-fracture and the need for additional surgery.

I have stage 2 avascular necrosis in my left femoral head and heard homeopathy might help cure it without surgery Has anyone actually recovered this way or are there other non-surgical options that worked for people
Homeopathy may help symptoms, but there's no strong evidence it can reverse avascular necrosis. Core decompression or stem cell therapy might help before joint replacement is needed.
