I have a bimalleolar fracture in my lower right leg and my surgery is scheduled in two weeks is it safe to wait that long? Also, I've noticed bruising near my knee on my calf, which seems pretty far from the ankle fracture. Should I be worried about that?

View allCan a partial ACL tear heal on its own without surgery and how long does it usually take for the knee to feel normal again
Yes, a partial ACL tear can potentially heal on its own without surgery, especially for less active individuals. However, the recovery time can vary, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months for those without surgery. The focus of treatment is on reducing inflammation, improving knee stability, and gradually increasing mobility through physical therapy

My mom has been struggling with her weight and knee issues for a while now. She can't walk properly and has pain when she exerts herself, but otherwise just finds it hard to walk straight. It's been like this for two years is knee replacement the only option or are there other things we can try first?
No, knee replacement is not necessarily the only option for your mom's knee pain and weight issues. There are several other treatments and lifestyle changes that can help manage her pain and improve her mobility before considering surgery. A combination of weight management, exercise, physical therapy, and pain management strategies can be very effective.

What's the role of the fibula in ankle movement? I had surgery on my tibia and fibula 5 months ago, but my ankle still won't bend no matter how much I try. I've been walking for a month now, but the pain in my ankle is getting worse. Could this be related to how the fibula heals? I've attached my x-ray for reference.
