I'm dealing with something called avascular necrosis in my hip joints and it's been about two months now. The doctor mentioned something about needing to replace my hip joint. I'm really worried about it. Can you tell me more about what this means and do you think the replacement is necessary?

View allMy wife is scheduled for bilateral total knee replacement surgery on April 1st 2020 but with the COVID situation, I'm really worried about her staying in the hospital for over 20 days post-op. Is it safe to go ahead with the surgery right now or should we postpone it?
It is not advisable to go for elective surgery in the present day serinio when the whole atmosphere is infected with covid 19. It will have all medical, social & legal repurcatations. However she can practice some yoga based exercises.

I've had knee pain for 10 years and been doing physiotherapy for the past year. My hip joint snaps when climbing stairs with slight pain, but the main issue is IT band pain at the knee. I do stretching and strengthening exercises regularly but don't feel much improvement. Could this condition require surgery or are there other treatment options I should consider?

Got into an accident and my knee is swollen with pain - attached the report. Do I need surgery or will plaster be enough to fix it?
It's impossible to determine if you need surgery or just a plaster (cast) based solely on a description of knee swelling and pain after an accident. A doctor needs to examine your knee and review the accident report, potentially including imaging like X-rays or MRI, to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Plaster casts are typically used for fractures, while surgery might be necessary for injuries like torn ligaments or menisci.
