I fell off my bike and fractured my left collarbone just got the X-ray report. Could you help me understand what treatment options I have? Is surgery necessary, or can it heal without it? Also, how long does recovery usually take for this kind of injury?

Clavicle fracture can heal non-surgically with a brace if not displaced; surgery is needed for severe displacement—recovery takes 6–12 weeks depending on method.

View allMy 10-year-old son has cubitus varus in his left elbow and we're considering surgery for correction. I've noticed many doctors recommend lateral wedge osteotomy but I'm concerned about the lateral condylar prominence issue that can come with it. Are there any specialists in Pune or Mumbai who perform dome osteotomy for this condition?
Dome osteotomy is a good alternative and reduces cosmetic deformity. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons in major hospitals like Hinduja (Mumbai) or Deenanath Mangeshkar (Pune) may offer this—seek a second opinion there.

I'm a 45-year-old woman, 66 kgs and 5.2 ft tall, mostly at home doing housework. Lately, I've been having knee pain, especially when climbing stairs or standing for more than 5 minutes. An orthopedic surgeon did an X-ray and said it's early-stage patellofemoral arthritis, but there's no specific treatment just some physio. Can you guide me on what I should and shouldn't do in my daily life to manage this better?
Avoid stairs, high-impact tasks; strengthen quads, wear proper footwear—weight loss also helps knee arthritis.

Is it possible for AVN to heal on its own without surgery if my right hip is stage 3 and left hip is stage 2
While avascular necrosis (AVN) is a progressive condition, and often requires surgery to manage, it's possible for some cases to resolve on their own or be managed conservatively. The stage of AVN and the specific location within the hip can influence whether non-surgical approaches are viable
