I'm a 45-year-old woman, 66 kgs and 5.2 ft tall, mostly at home doing housework. Lately, I've been having knee pain, especially when climbing stairs or standing for more than 5 minutes. An orthopedic surgeon did an X-ray and said it's early-stage patellofemoral arthritis, but there's no specific treatment just some physio. Can you guide me on what I should and shouldn't do in my daily life to manage this better?

Avoid stairs, high-impact tasks; strengthen quads, wear proper footwear‚Äîweight loss also helps knee arthritis.

I was diagnosed with AVN possibly in the first or second stage and was told core decompression might be needed. Is there any chance it can be treated with just medications without surgery? I have my CT, MRI, and X-ray reports could I share them with you for your opinion if you provide an email address?

we can then consider surgical options.

My doctor says I need surgery for a medial malleolus fracture but I heard it can heal without it. Is surgery always necessary or are there cases where it can heal on its own? What factors decide whether to go for surgery or not?

Surgery depends on displacement, stability, and patient activity; conservative treatment works for non-displaced fractures.
