I have a mild wedge fracture at L1 and I'm not sure if I should get surgery or just stick to bed rest and physio. What's the better option for healing properly without making things worse?

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

Can knock knees be corrected naturally at age 28 or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about long-term effects if left untreated and wondering if exercises or braces might help
Sometimes, if knock knees cause problems such as pain or difficulty walking, you may be referred to a specialist for tests to see what might be causing it. Rarely, surgery to straighten the knees and legs may be recommended.
