I'm scheduled for ACL reconstruction surgery next month but I'm currently taking Luramax 40, Arpizol, and Sizopin for my mental health. Do I need to stop these meds before the surgery and if so, how long before? Also, what kind of complications could these meds cause during the procedure?

Yes, your niece's clubfoot could potentially be treated without surgery, even at age 14, depending on the severity and the specific treatment approach. While the most effective time to address clubfoot is in infancy, there are techniques that can still be successful in older children.

My left calcaneus bone is bigger and wider than the right one, causing leg pain and a leg length difference. Is there any surgery to make the calcaneus smaller?
While it's not common to surgically reduce the size of a calcaneus (heel bone) to correct leg length discrepancy, there are surgical options for addressing leg length differences and associated pain. These typically involve either shortening the longer leg or lengthening the shorter leg. If the calcaneus is abnormally wide due to a fracture or other condition, surgery to reshape the bone might be an option, but this is a distinct procedure from leg lengthening or shortening
