I recently had an accident on June 23rd, and they put a plaster on my injury that same day. I'm trying to figure out how many days of bed rest I might need before I can start going back to the office. Can you give me some guidance on when it might be safe to return to work?

Bed rest is advised for 6 weeks to the patient.

View allI have a grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus but can walk fine and bend my knee fully. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?
A grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus usually indicates a complete tear, which typically does not heal on its own due to limited blood supply in that area. However, if you're not experiencing pain, instability, or functional limitations, conservative management like physiotherapy may be sufficient. An orthopedic consultation is recommended to assess the need for surgery based on your activity level and symptoms.

What's the best way to treat this condition and how long does recovery usually take Is surgery the only option or can it be delayed for a while
The best way to treat a medical condition and the timeline for recovery vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. While surgery may be an option, it's often not the first or only choice, and it can sometimes be delayed. Recovery time can range from a few days to several months or even longer, depending on the procedure and individual factors.

my doctor recommended surgery for a medial malleolus fracture but it's already been delayed by a month could this lead to complications or make the healing process harder
A one-month delay in surgery for a medial malleolus fracture could potentially lead to complications or make the healing process harder, but the extent of the impact depends on the individual case and fracture characteristics. While ideally surgery is recommended within the first few days, a delay of a month might not always be problematic, especially if the fracture is stable and properly aligned. However, delayed surgery for some ankle fractures has been linked to increased risks of infection, poorer clinical outcomes, and more pain
