I'm worried about my chondromalacia diagnosis from a few years ago. I sometimes didn't stick to the doctor's advice about not jumping, running, or folding my knees, and now Im experiencing knee pain whenever I put stress on them. I recently started karate classes that involve a lot of those activities. Is there anything youd recommend I do to manage the pain and keep my knees in good shape while still attending classes?

I 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.
