I was diagnosed with AVN possibly in the first or second stage and was told core decompression might be needed. Is there any chance it can be treated with just medications without surgery? I have my CT, MRI, and X-ray reports could I share them with you for your opinion if you provide an email address?

View allI twisted my right knee playing football 2 months ago and the MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL ligament with some hyperintensity noted in the PDFs. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own with rest and rehab? What would you suggest for recovery?
For a partial ACL tear, especially after 2 months, the decision of whether to pursue surgery or conservative treatment depends on the severity of the tear, your activity level, and your individual goals. While partial tears can be treated without surgery, especially for less active individuals, the long-term outcome for those returning to unrestricted activity is variable, potentially leading to some instability

I've been having a lot of back pain lately, and sometimes it spreads to my hip. I cant sit for more than 15 minutes or walk for more than 30 minutes without the pain kicking in. This all started just 25 days ago, and I can't help but worry about how long itll take for me to get better. Plus, I'm concerned about how this might affect a future pregnancy. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on and what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or a posture-related issue, which is common but can cause discomfort. Since it's been ongoing for 25 days, I recommend seeing a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. With proper treatment, this shouldn't affect your pregnancy, but early intervention is key to a quicker recovery.

I had titanium plate surgery for a tibia and fibula fracture 4 months ago but now my leg is swollen and red. My orthopedic surgeon recommended removing the plate. What could be causing this and is removal the only option?
Swelling and redness at the site of a titanium plate implant, four months after surgery, can indicate several possibilities, including infection, a reaction to the implant, or a problem with the bone healing process. Removal of the plate might be recommended by your surgeon, but it's not always the only solution; other options could be explored
