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

View allI've been diagnosed with grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear can this be fully fixed with surgery or will physiotherapy be enough to recover properly
With both Grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear, a combination of physiotherapy and potentially surgery may be needed for optimal recovery, depending on the severity of your symptoms and activity level. While physiotherapy can be effective for both conditions, surgery may be required for a full recovery, particularly if you have a high-demand lifestyle or experience significant instability

For a partial tear non surgical treatment is the first line tt is advised.Physical therapy,nsaids,pain and inflammation.and weight loss management is advised to the patient.Surgery is advised for complete tears.

I've been dealing with this wound on my left knee for about a week now, and it's really frustrating. I can't put any weight on it without needing some support. I've tried using cipladine and betadine, but the pus just won't go away. Do you have any suggestions on what might work better?
that might need I&D visit Surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management
