With both Grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear, a combination of physiotherapy and potentially surgery may be needed for optimal recovery, depending on the severity of your symptoms and activity level.

Can knock knees be corrected naturally at age 28 or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about long-term effects if left untreated and wondering if exercises or braces might help
Sometimes, if knock knees cause problems such as pain or difficulty walking, you may be referred to a specialist for tests to see what might be causing it. Rarely, surgery to straighten the knees and legs may be recommended.

What's the right age for limb lengthening surgery and how many inches can you realistically gain with it Also what kind of pain or complications should I expect during recovery
Limb lengthening surgery is generally recommended between the ages of 18 and 45. The average height increase is typically 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) per bone lengthened. Pain and discomfort are expected during recovery, but can be managed with medication. Complications can include infection, delayed bone healing, and nerve or muscle damage.
