It's been 80 days since my tibia surgery where they used plates and nails for both legs. The swelling has gone down but I'm still unsure can I start walking now or do I need to wait longer? I'm worried about putting weight on them too soon.

You should walk now. Continue active non weight bearing mobilisation of knee,ankle and hip. Start with partial weight bearing with walker. Then progress to full weight bearing. Pain relief will be important.Please get the latest xray to see bony union which will decide the weight bearing on the limbs

My 5-year-old has a meniscus tear with clicking sounds and discomfort but no locking. Their knee feels unstable should we consider surgery or try other options first?
For a 5-year-old with a meniscus tear causing clicking, discomfort, and knee instability, but without locking, a non-surgical approach is generally recommended as the first step. This typically involves rest, ice, and physical therapy to manage pain and improve knee function. Surgery might be considered if the tear is severe or if non-surgical treatments fail to provide sufficient relief.
