View allGot into an accident and my knee is swollen with pain - attached the report. Do I need surgery or will plaster be enough to fix it?
It's impossible to determine if you need surgery or just a plaster (cast) based solely on a description of knee swelling and pain after an accident. A doctor needs to examine your knee and review the accident report, potentially including imaging like X-rays or MRI, to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Plaster casts are typically used for fractures, while surgery might be necessary for injuries like torn ligaments or menisci.

Got xrays of both knees done today and the doctor recommended proximal fibular osteotomy surgery. Just wanted to check if this procedure is really necessary or if there are other options? The xrays are attached for reference
Proximal fibular osteotomy is done to offload medial knee arthritis—if early stage, braces or PRP may help; surgery is best for moderate-severe cases.

My dad is 66 and surgeons are recommending surgery but say there's no guarantee of success. He's also having pain in both arms now. What should we do next? Is surgery the best option or are there other treatments we can explore?
Get a second opinion and explore conservative options like pain management or physiotherapy before deciding on surgery.
