View allIs there any way to reduce my carrying angle from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery? I have it in both hands and was wondering if specific exercises could help or if surgery is the only option to fix it
Yes, it's possible to reduce an excessive carrying angle (cubitus valgus) from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery, and exercises can be helpful. While surgery may be an option in some cases, yoga and physical therapy exercises can be effective in strengthening the muscles and potentially reducing the angle.

I've had an ACL injury for the past 2 years and I'm wondering if sports injury surgery can be done without using screws what are my options and how effective are they
Yes, it's possible to manage ACL injuries without surgery, particularly for those who are less active or who don't want to return to high-impact sports. If surgery is necessary, there are minimally invasive techniques that may avoid using screws, such as suture-based repairs or allograft techniques.
