It's been three months since my ACL and MCL surgery on my right knee, but I still have a very mild limp when walking. I can flex my knee up to 120 degrees and fully extend it, though it's still a little less than my left leg since that one hyperextends. Is this slight limp normal? I can climb stairs but only one at a time.

A mild limp after ACL and MCL surgery at 3 months is common.Physiotherapy should continue and full recovery may take 6–12 months with gradual improvement.

My left elbow had surgery with a plate inserted two months ago but I still can't rotate my hand properly and have flexibility issues. I'm doing wax mobilization but what else can I do to recover faster?
To recover faster from your elbow surgery, continue with your current wax mobilization and incorporate a more comprehensive physical therapy plan. This should include exercises to improve range of motion, gentle stretching, and strengthening exercises for the muscles around the elbow and forearm.

It's been four months since my fracture and I'm still using a walker. The x-ray shows a separate bone fragment will this heal on its own or will I need surgery to fix it?
Whether a separate bone fragment will heal on its own or require surgery depends on several factors, including the size of the fragment, its location, and whether it's causing any pain, functional limitations, or damage to nearby tissues. If it's been four months since the fracture and the fragment hasn't healed, it's possible that it's a non-union fracture, meaning the bone pieces haven't joined together. In these cases, surgery might be necessary to try to promote healing or remove the fragment.
