I'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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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

I do stretching and strengthening exercises regularly but don't feel much improvement. Could this condition require surgery or are there other treatment options I should consider?

I'm really curious about the process of using microfracture on the shin bone to increase height. Can you tell me how effective this is? Also, how long would it typically take to grow about 1cm using this method? I'm eager to know what to expect.
