MRI showed a bucket handle tear in my medial meniscus. How bad is this kind of tear and is there any chance it can heal without surgery? I'm really worried about what this means for my knee long-term

View allI fractured a muscle in my right leg a few months ago and now Im seeing these dark lines on the nerves in my thigh. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a serious issue?
The dark lines on your nerves could be due to bruising or inflammation. It is important to monitor for any changes in sensation, color, or temperature in that area. To help with healing and reduce inflammation, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to rest your leg and elevate it when possible. If the dark lines persist or if you experience worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Does using a plate and screw for a bone fracture help prevent needing another surgery later if the bone breaks again
Using plates and screws (internal fixation) for a bone fracture can help prevent the need for another surgery if the bone breaks again, but it's not a guarantee. Internal fixation provides stability, which can reduce the risk of further fractures and malunion (bone healing incorrectly). However, factors like the severity of the original fracture, the individual's healing process, and other medical conditions can still influence the likelihood of a re-fracture and the need for additional surgery.
