I have a partial ACL tear and I'm not sure if I need surgery or just physiotherapy. Can you help me understand what's best based on my MRI report? I'm really worried about making the right choice for recovery.

For partial ACL tears, physiotherapy might suffice unless the ligament is severely torn or if you have knee instability. Discuss your MRI findings with your orthopedic surgeon to determine whether surgery or conservative treatment is best.

It's been 80 days since my tibia surgery where they used plates and nails for both legs. The swelling has gone down but I'm still unsure can I start walking now or do I need to wait longer? I'm worried about putting weight on them too soon.
You should walk now. Continue active non weight bearing mobilisation of knee,ankle and hip. Start with partial weight bearing with walker. Then progress to full weight bearing. Pain relief will be important.Please get the latest xray to see bony union which will decide the weight bearing on the limbs

My dad is 60 and has had knee pain for 12 years due to osteoarthritis. The doctor recommended knee replacement surgery, but we're wondering if there's any way to manage or reduce the pain without going through surgery
A total knee replacement surgery is a valid treatment option for severe knee pain and functional limitations due to osteoarthritis, even at age 60. The decision to proceed with surgery should be made collaboratively with a doctor, considering the individual's overall health, activity level, and the impact of the pain on their daily life
