I had ACL reconstruction surgery using a hamstring graft from my own leg. Does the part where they took the graft grow back or heal completely? Will my hamstring ever be the same as before the surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The donor site in hamstring graft heals but might not fully regain original strength; with rehab, function usually recovers well but may feel slightly different.

I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand based on my NCSEPS EMG report showing prolonged distal latency and reduced AMP and NCV in the median nerve studies. Two doctors an orthopedic surgeon and a neuropathy surgeon both recommended carpal tunnel release surgery. Who is better suited to perform this surgery, an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist surgeon? Also, between microscopic and endoscopic surgery, which one has better success rates for healing?
Both orthopedic and neurological surgeons are qualified to perform carpal tunnel release surgery, and there isn't a clear consensus on which is "better." The choice often comes down to surgeon preference and experience. Endoscopic and microscopic techniques both offer good success rates, with endoscopic surgery potentially leading to faster recovery and less postoperative pain for some patients

My mom is 63 and has severe knee pain in both knees. The doctor recommended knee replacement but she's worried because she's overweight at 80 kg and 5.1 feet tall. Is it safe for her to get the surgery? Also, what's the difference between robotic knee replacement and regular knee replacement? How long does recovery usually take?
Surgery can be done in overweight patients if diabetes is stable; robotic offers better precision, recovery is 4–6 weeks.
