I've been told I need surgery for a tear in my posterior labrum. How safe is the procedure and what are the risks? Also, what exactly are bio absorbable sutures do they dissolve in the body or stay there permanently?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Posterior labrum repair is safe with risks of stiffness,nerve injury,or instability.Bio-absorbable sutures dissolve over months and do not need removal.

I'm 23 and have bow legs are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that can help fix them and how long would it take to see improvement
At 23, the bones are mostly mature, so non-surgical correction of bow legs is limited. However, physiotherapy focusing on strengthening hip and thigh muscles, along with posture correction exercises, may improve appearance and function. It may take several months to notice subtle changes. For significant correction, surgical options may be more effective.

I've had worsening knee pain for 5 years and X-rays show my cartilage is worn out on both sides. Physiotherapy didn't help much and my ortho doc recommends total knee replacement. Right now I'm trying Ayurvedic Sandhi Suddha oil and New Zealand mussels - are there any other options besides surgery that could work for me
Yes, several non-surgical options can be considered before or instead of total knee replacement, including physical therapy, injections (steroids, hyaluronic acid, PRP), and potentially even cartilage repair procedures. The success of these options will depend on your individual condition, the severity of the cartilage damage, and your overall health
