I had surgery for a calcaneum fracture in my left leg one and a half months ago with 4 K-wires inserted and have been on a fiber plaster since then. I can move around with a walker but now the K-wires need to be removed. Will I have to get admitted to the hospital again for another surgery to take them out?

With the review of the X ray ,orthopaedic surgeon will decide whether fracture is United or not? If the fracture is United then k wire can be remove on the opd basis . After the removal of plaster there may be stiffness in ankle joint which require ankle rom exercises

View allHow can I tell if my right knee ACL injury needs surgery and how do I figure out how severe the injury is
To determine if your ACL injury requires surgery, and its severity, a doctor will typically use a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. A complete tear or severe instability usually indicates a need for surgery, while minor tears may be managed with physical therapy.

I'm dealing with an ACL tear in my left knee, and the MRI report mentions something about an interstitial tear. Could you explain what that means and how it can be treated? Also, I'm wondering how many therapy sessions might be needed. I have the MRI scan if you need more details.

I was diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear on an MRI about a month and a half ago and still can't bend my knee fully. It hurts when I stand or walk is there a chance it could heal without surgery? What should I do to stay safe and help it recover?
Medial meniscus tear may heal with physiotherapy and rest if small;surgery is needed for mechanical symptoms or persistent movement limitations.
