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?

View allHow long does it usually take for a tibia-shin bone fracture near the ankle to heal? And when might I be able to start walking again? Also, what should I expect regarding a full recovery?
The healing time for a tibiashin bone fracture can vary depending on the severity of the fracture. In general, it can take around 6 to 8 weeks for the fracture to heal. However, it may take longer for full recovery, which can range from several months to a year. After the initial healing period, a person may be able to start walking with the help of crutches or a walking boot. It is important to follow your doctor's advice on when it is safe to start walking again to avoid any complications. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help regain strength and mobility in the affected leg.

my doctor suggested biovisc injections for my shoulder joint gap instead of surgery does this treatment actually work or should i consider other options
Biovisc injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections or viscosupplementation, can be a viable alternative to surgery for shoulder pain and joint gap, but they may not be a permanent solution. These injections work by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid, which can reduce pain and improve mobility, but they don't address the underlying cause of the joint gap.

I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand based on my NCSEPS EMG report showing prolonged distal latency and reduced AMP and NCV in the median nerve studies. Two doctors an orthopedic surgeon and a neuropathy surgeon both recommended carpal tunnel release surgery. Who is better suited to perform this surgery, an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist surgeon? Also, between microscopic and endoscopic surgery, which one has better success rates for healing?
Both orthopedic and neurological surgeons are qualified to perform carpal tunnel release surgery, and there isn't a clear consensus on which is "better." The choice often comes down to surgeon preference and experience. Endoscopic and microscopic techniques both offer good success rates, with endoscopic surgery potentially leading to faster recovery and less postoperative pain for some patients
