I'm 23 and have bow legs are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that can help fix them and how long would it take to see improvement
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
At 23, the bones are mostly mature, so non-surgical correction of bow legs is limited. However, physiotherapy focusing on strengthening hip and thigh muscles, along with posture correction exercises, may improve appearance and function. It may take several months to notice subtle changes. For significant correction, surgical options may be more effective.

I'm a 30-year-old woman with stage 3 AVN in my right hip for the past 4 months. My ortho doctor has suggested a wait-and-watch approach or possible surgery later. The pain fluctuates some days it's bad, others not so much. Is surgery the only option or should I explore ayurveda or homeopathy alongside? What's the best way to manage AVN if I want to avoid surgery?
While total hip replacement is often necessary for stage 3 AVN, it's not always the first step. A wait-and-watch approach, along with other non-surgical options like physical therapy and modified activity, can be considered initially. Ayurveda and homeopathy may offer complementary approaches for pain management and overall well-being, but should not replace conventional medical treatment

I'm having trouble bending my left index finger after I had k wire surgery. It's been almost a year now since the surgery, and I'm starting to worry because the finger not only won't bend but also looks different. They used a k wire to connect two bones. What could be going wrong here? Should I be concerned about the shape being off? It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.
Considering your concerns after K-wire surgery, consult an orthopedic specialist or hand surgeon for personalized evaluation and guidance
