I injured my right wrist TFCC around two months back and the doctor recommended surgery. Can you explain the difference between open surgery and arthroscopy for TFCC repair? I'm a bit nervous about the options and recovery process

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with quicker recovery; open surgery is used for more complex TFCC tears.

View allI fell during a cricket match and had internal bleeding, got an MRI that shows a near complete tear in my anterior cruciate ligament. It's been about a month and a half at home, and I still can't bend my knee fully only partially. What's the success rate for treatment, and how much would surgery cost?
For a near-complete ACL tear, surgical reconstruction is generally recommended for individuals who are active and want to return to sports. The success rate for ACL reconstruction is high, with studies reporting a 80-90% success rate. The cost of ACL surgery in India can range from ‚Çπ80,000 to ‚Çπ2,50,000, depending on factors like the type of reconstruction, graft used, and the hospital.

My ACL in my right knee has been torn for 10 years my first doctor told me to rest and exercise. Now after another fall, a new doc says only ACL reconstruction surgery will fix it permanently. Are there any other options besides surgery?
yes advised.

The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing
