I'm dealing with a complete ACL tear according to my MRI. I'm really hoping to explore alternatives to surgery. Is there anything else out there that can help fix my ligaments? My MRI report is included.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Non-surgical options for ACL tears include physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve stability, as well as the use of a knee brace for support. However, it is important to note that these methods may not fully restore the stability of the knee like surgery would. Additionally, certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation associated with the injury.

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

I'm 27 and have knock knees (genu valgum). Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'm worried about how it affects me long-term and if exercises or braces could help
In almost all cases of genu valgum, the condition will resolve before a child reaches adolescence. For older children and adults, the most likely form of therapy involves stretches and exercises to realign the knees and relieve pain. Some people might find relief with orthotics or braces
