Proximal fibular osteotomy is done to offload medial knee arthritis—if early stage, braces or PRP may help; surgery is best for moderate-severe cases.

I've had tailbone pain for 18 years after falling on a speedbreaker - my x-ray back then showed a hairline fracture but I didn't take proper care. Now my recent x-rays show anterior dislocation of the coccyx and the pain has gotten worse over the past 5 years. I can't sit directly and only manage 30 minutes with a special cushion. The doctor pointed out how my bone is bent inward - could this cause problems if I try stretching exercises? Would treatments like TENS or ultrasound therapy help since I want to avoid risky surgery
Given your chronic tailbone pain and the recent finding of an anterior dislocation with a bent coccyx, gentle stretching exercises might be beneficial, but it's crucial to proceed cautiously and under the guidance of a professional, especially if your doctor's concerned about potential complications. TENS and ultrasound therapy can offer pain relief and may be helpful in conjunction with other treatments, but they don't address the underlying dislocation.

Can shoulder dislocation be treated without surgery What are the best non-surgical options for fixing a dislocated shoulder I'm really worried about needing surgery and want to know if there's another way to heal properly
Yes, shoulder dislocations can often be treated without surgery, especially for the first time or less severe dislocations. The most common non-surgical approach is closed reduction, where a doctor manually repositions the shoulder joint back into place. Following this, immobilization with a sling and physical therapy are key to recovery
