It's been 4 months and 25 days since my distal femur comminuted fracture surgery, which I heard is one of the most complicated cases. My knee still won't bend properly and I'm worried - is the fixation not healing right anatomically? Could this mean I might need another surgery or is there another reason for my limited movement?

I've been dealing with a hard lump on my right shin for a couple of months now. It's about an inch in diameter, really firm but not painful. I play soccer every day, so I'm wondering if it's just a bruise or something more serious. Should I be worried?
The hard, painless lump on your shin, present for a couple of months, could be a benign bone growth, such as an osteochondroma or a bone spur, possibly related to repetitive trauma or bruises from playing soccer; however, to rule out other potential causes, like a stress fracture, soft tissue tumor, or infection, consult an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, X-rays, or an MRI, to determine the cause and appropriate management.

I've been dealing with AVN in my hip at stage 3 for over a year now and have seen an orthopedic doctor, but there's no improvement. They're suggesting a hip replacement, but I'm not too keen on surgery. Are there any other treatment options I could try?
It is very difficult to get away from AVN and avoid surgery. Ultimately you will need surgery for sure. You can post your MRI pictures
