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?

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.

Question

I had an accident 4 days ago and my MRI shows a PCL avulsion fracture at the back of the tibial spine with about 5mm elevation from the bone. My doctor said surgery isn't needed but I'm worried should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage without surgery?

Question

My left knee ACL is torn according to the MRI report and I need surgery soon - what's the best treatment option for me to recover properly

Question

My left collar bone sticks out way more than the right one, and my shoulders look uneven with the left one sitting higher. From the back, my posture seems tilted to the right, and I get pain on the right side of my back when I stand for too long. Can this be fixed with surgery or exercises to make my posture symmetrical? Are there any long-term side effects if I don't get it treated?
