I have a partial ACL tear from running and playing football and cricket. My MRI shows a partial tear at the femoral attachment of the ACL, some changes in the medial meniscus, bone bruising in the tibial condyles, and mild joint swelling with a popliteus muscle injury. Can physiotherapy help heal this without surgery or is surgery my only option
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Partial ACL tears with meniscus and muscle injury can often be managed with physiotherapy; surgery is reserved if instability or pain persists.

View allI'm a 25-year-old woman, 54 inches tall and weigh 50 kg. My wrists are very thin with visible nerves, and my hands are overall slender. The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery? Should I see an orthopedist, dietitian, or cosmetic surgeon for this issue?

My mom has been dealing with AVN in both hip joints for the past three months right hip at stage 4 and left at stage 3. She's 67 but otherwise healthy, no diabetes or BP issues. Some ortho doctors recommend surgery while others advise against it due to her age. She's managing at home with a walker and physiotherapy but has severe pain in the hip and under her legs. Is homeopathy a viable option for her condition?
While homeopathy may offer some pain relief or support for managing symptoms, it's not a primary treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially when surgery is being considered. It's crucial to prioritize the recommendations of her orthopedic doctors and focus on managing the pain and improving her mobility with physical therapy, weight management, and possibly surgery if deemed necessary
