I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery

I have AVN stage 2 in my left hip and stage 3 in my right hip and getting conflicting advice from doctors - one says core decompression won't help at all and I'll need hip replacements eventually, another suggests core decompression with grafting might work but can't guarantee it, and a third is pushing for core decompression with stem cell therapy as the latest option but also with no guarantees. What's the best path forward when the opinions are so different?

I've been dealing with a fracture in my fifth metatarsal since November 18th, and was told not to walk for 4 weeks. Now that I'm getting back on my feet, my leg isn't quite right. It's weaker and I have a medium level of pain around the fracture area. I had a new X-ray today, and while it looks a bit better, the fracture is still pretty noticeable. I can walk, but I'm only at about 60% of my former strength. Should I be concerned about not seeing more improvement at this point? What else could I do to heal better?
