I'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?

Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.

Meniscus tear can sometimes be treated conservatively with rest,bracing,and physiotherapy.MRI findings and symptoms guide need for surgery.

I'm 60 but active and healthy with no diabetes or BP issues. Had an accident 6 months ago complete MCL tear, partial PCL tear, and horizontal meniscus tear. Doctors are split on whether I should get reconstruction, augmentation, and meniscus repair surgery because of my age. Is arthroscopy or keyhole surgery worth it at this stage?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
