Question 1

Is the surgeon's MBBS diploma in orthopedics and DNB in orthopedic surgery enough for my ACL reconstruction surgery tomorrow? I'm a bit worried about their qualifications for this specific procedure

Accepted Answer

YES, HE IS THE BEST QUALIFICATION FOR THAT.

Question 2

My left elbow was fractured when I was a kid but didn't heal properly, so now my arm isn't straight. If I get surgery to fix it, will it look and feel natural? Is surgery a good long-term solution for this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, surgery can be a good long-term solution for a malunion (incorrectly healed) elbow fracture. The goal is to realign the bone and improve function. While surgery can significantly improve the look and feel of your elbow, it's unlikely to be completely natural, and some limitations in range of motion or strength are possible

Question 3

I've been having some pain in my thigh muscles whenever I cough, and it's been going on for two months now. It also hurts when I turn in my sleep or stand up after sitting. I've tried a bunch of stuff like using balm, taking painkillers, and even putting a hot towel on it, but nothing seems to work. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what else I could try?

Accepted Answer

The persistent thigh muscle pain triggered by coughing, movement, or changes in position, lasting two months, may indicate a possible underlying condition, such as a herniated disk, muscle strain, or nerve compression in the lower back, which can radiate pain to the thigh;

I have scoliosis in my lower back and my x-ray shows it's C-shaped near the base of my spine. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? Are there specific exercises that might help correct it over time? I'm really worried about whether this can improve without going under the knife.

Mild scoliosis can improve with core strengthening, physiotherapy, and posture correction; regular follow-up is key, surgery only if worsening.
