Ulnar nerve transposition surgery, while generally safe, carries some risks including infection, nerve damage, and persistent symptoms. Complications like nerve injury, failure to decompress the nerve completely, infection, and thrombophlebitis are possible. Return to working out depends on the individual and the type of exercise, but generally, light activities can be resumed around 8 weeks, with a full return to unrestricted activity taking up to 24 weeks

I'm 25 and dealing with Pott's spine. I've been on AKT treatment for the past 7 months and recent MRIs show the pus is going down. I did an LFT test and noticed that my alkaline phosphatase is a bit high at 126, while the normal range is 46 to 116. Everything else looks okay. Should I be worried about this? What other medications can I take to help with the side effects of AKT? A friend of mine mentioned trying LIVRITE for 15 days and Bendon while continuing AKT. What do you think I should do?

My dad has a full ACL tear but just needs to walk normally without heavy activity is surgery the only option or are there other ways to manage it

While surgery is often recommended for full ACL tears, especially for those with high activity levels, nonsurgical management may be an option for individuals who primarily need to walk normally without engaging in strenuous activities. The decision to proceed with surgery or nonsurgical management depends on various factors, including activity level, age, overall health, and the presence of other knee injuries.
