i have three plates and screws in my body from a previous surgery and im wondering if i should get another surgery to remove them what do most patients usually do in this situation

Implants are usually left in unless they cause pain or interfere with movement. Removal is elective and discussed case by case.

View allCan anyone recommend a skilled orthopedic surgeon for a complete ACL and MCL tear in my left knee wondering if surgery is really needed or if there are other options
I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

For a partial tear non surgical treatment is the first line tt is advised.Physical therapy,nsaids,pain and inflammation.and weight loss management is advised to the patient.Surgery is advised for complete tears.

I've been dealing with AVN in my right hip for about 3 years now and I'm only 33. I've also been on Medrol for 5 years for either sarcoidosis or HSP but it's never been properly diagnosed. I need a single side total hip replacement and would prefer ceramic on poly implants but money's tight since I lost my job due to the AVN and don't have medical insurance. Can you suggest some affordable hospitals for this surgery?
