I had a major humerus fracture and got a plate put in almost two years back. Now I'm having pain when I move my arm too much at work and can't lift my left hand above my shoulder. What can I do to help it heal better and when would be the right time to get the plate removed?

You can get the plate removed now. Start physiotherapy exercises to relieve stiffness.

View allI've had a completely dissolved left hip joint for the past 13 years, which has made my left leg about one and a half inches shorter than my right. I just had a baby via C-section and am currently breastfeeding. When would be a safe time for me to get hip replacement surgery? Walking has become really difficult for me lately.
If you have recently delivered a baby through C section, you should wait for atleast three months to allow the body to recover. Even after three months, your blood tests and other investigations should be done and surgery should be performed only if you are medically fit for the same. Hip replacement is not an emergency and is an elective procedure. When performed by a Joint replacement surgeon/ Fellowship trained Orthopaedic surgeon, you will get excellent long term results.

What's the best treatment for a complete ACL tear? I've heard surgery is the only option but I'm not sure I've attached my MRI report for your opinion
Complete ACL tears usually require surgery for active individuals—please upload MRI for a better assessment.
