I'm curious about how long it usually takes to have a plaster removed from a small bone like the metatarsal or the little toe. Is there a typical timeframe for healing in these cases? Just trying to understand what to expect.

View allI have a 9mm full thickness ACL tear and need surgery - what type of specialist should I see for this procedure? I'm a bit unsure whether to go with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine or a general orthopedic surgeon since they both seem to handle ACL repairs
for an orthopedic specialist if necessary. Make sure that your doctor is medically qualified to treat your ACL tear completely. ACL tear repair treatment and surgery are performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons, so general or family practitioners aren't ideal for treatment.

I injured my leg during a trek back in January and the pain kept coming and going. By September, it was still bothering me so I saw a doctor who recommended an MRI. The 1.5T MRI showed a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Is there any way to avoid surgery for this?
Yes, it's possible to avoid surgery for a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Non-surgical treatments are often the first approach for these types of injuries, and they can be very effective.
