I've had pain in my right knee for the past two weeks and the MRI scan shows a complex medial meniscus tear. What treatment options do I have or will I need surgery for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With a complex medial meniscus tear, treatment options depend on the severity, location, and symptoms. Non-surgical options like RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), physical therapy, and pain management may be tried first. If these don't relieve symptoms or if the tear is large or causing instability, surgery (like arthroscopic repair or partial meniscectomy) may be necessary.

Can a partial ACL tear heal on its own without surgery and how long does it usually take for the knee to feel normal again
Yes, a partial ACL tear can potentially heal on its own without surgery, especially for less active individuals. However, the recovery time can vary, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months for those without surgery. The focus of treatment is on reducing inflammation, improving knee stability, and gradually increasing mobility through physical therapy

I had a major humerus fracture and got a plate put in almost two years back. Now I'm having pain when I move my arm too much at work and can't lift my left hand above my shoulder. What can I do to help it heal better and when would be the right time to get the plate removed?
You can get the plate removed now. Start physiotherapy exercises to relieve stiffness.
