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

View allI'm 16 and have knock knees is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'm worried about how it looks and if it might cause problems later. What exercises or treatments could help straighten my knees naturally?
Yes, it's possible to improve the appearance and function of knock knees without surgery, especially at your age. Strengthening exercises, physiotherapy, and potentially bracing can help realign your knees and strengthen supporting muscles.

my doctor recommended surgery for a medial malleolus fracture but it's already been delayed by a month could this lead to complications or make the healing process harder
A one-month delay in surgery for a medial malleolus fracture could potentially lead to complications or make the healing process harder, but the extent of the impact depends on the individual case and fracture characteristics. While ideally surgery is recommended within the first few days, a delay of a month might not always be problematic, especially if the fracture is stable and properly aligned. However, delayed surgery for some ankle fractures has been linked to increased risks of infection, poorer clinical outcomes, and more pain
