I've had an ACL injury for the past 2 years and I'm wondering if sports injury surgery can be done without using screws what are my options and how effective are they
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's possible to manage ACL injuries without surgery, particularly for those who are less active or who don't want to return to high-impact sports. If surgery is necessary, there are minimally invasive techniques that may avoid using screws, such as suture-based repairs or allograft techniques.

I had surgery for a meniscus tear on both sides of my left knee and I'm worried about how to properly heal and strengthen it. What exercises or rehab should I focus on? Also, I'm on bedrest and scared of gaining weight any tips to stay active or eat right while recovering?
Meniscus tear recovery needs gradual rehab—start with quad strengthening and avoid weight gain by following a high-protein, low-calorie diet.
