I have knock knees but it doesn't affect my running or workouts can it be fixed without surgery? What are my options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, knock knees (genu valgum) can often be managed without surgery, even if they don't affect running or workouts. Non-surgical options like physical therapy, orthotics, and lifestyle adjustments can be effective

View allI've had an ACL injury for the past 2 years and I'm wondering if sports injury surgery can be done without using screws what are my options and how effective are they
Yes, it's possible to manage ACL injuries without surgery, particularly for those who are less active or who don't want to return to high-impact sports. If surgery is necessary, there are minimally invasive techniques that may avoid using screws, such as suture-based repairs or allograft techniques.

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
