I've been struggling with really tight hamstrings and can barely move my back properly are there any good physiologists who can help? I'm considering hamstring lengthening surgery but don't know much about how it works or what recovery looks like afterward. What should I expect if I go through with it?

The operation is done through a small cut in the skin. Through this small opening, little cuts are made into the tight muscles so they can be stretched and made longer.

View allCan extraarticular ligaments like the MPFL and MCL actually heal on their own if they're partially torn or do they always need surgery to get back to normal I'm worried because I heard mixed things about blood flow in these ligaments affecting healing
Partial tears may heal with rest and physio; surgery is needed if instability or chronic pain persists.

I've been diagnosed with avascular necrosis in both hips stage 3 on the left and stage 2 on the right. The doctor suggested hip replacement surgery, but I'm only 22 and worried about it. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery at this stage?
Stage 2–3 AVN can be managed with core decompression, bisphosphonates, or PRP—joint replacement is for advanced collapse.

I have a 9mm full thickness ACL tear and need surgery - what type of specialist should I see for this procedure? I'm a bit unsure whether to go with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine or a general orthopedic surgeon since they both seem to handle ACL repairs
for an orthopedic specialist if necessary. Make sure that your doctor is medically qualified to treat your ACL tear completely. ACL tear repair treatment and surgery are performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons, so general or family practitioners aren't ideal for treatment.
