How much would it cost to get the plate removed from my humerus in a private hospital? It's been almost two years since the surgery and I'm wondering if it's time to take it out what's the usual price range for something like this?

My father is 58 and works in the Consumer Grievance Cell at CESC, so he has to travel a lot on his modified Royal Enfield Bullet with a sidecar. His legs have been getting weak, and doctors diagnosed him with osteoporosis. Some suggested knee replacement is that a good option at his age? How much will it actually help him?

kindly share xray knee report

I have a partial ACL tear from running and playing football and cricket. My MRI shows a partial tear at the femoral attachment of the ACL, some changes in the medial meniscus, bone bruising in the tibial condyles, and mild joint swelling with a popliteus muscle injury. Can physiotherapy help heal this without surgery or is surgery my only option

Partial ACL tears with meniscus and muscle injury can often be managed with physiotherapy; surgery is reserved if instability or pain persists.
