My 12-year-old cousin has a slightly curved spine and sometimes gets leg pain is surgery the only option for her or are there other treatments we should consider?

For mild scoliosis, physiotherapy and monitoring are preferred unless worsening; surgery is rarely first-line.

View allI've been dealing with stiffness and pain in my left knee, and every time I move it, there's a clicking sound along with pain. The MRI shows a partial ACL tear, but some orthos say it's not torn while others insist on surgery or PRP treatment. I'm confused because two different MRI reports say the same thing why the conflicting opinions? If the ACL is just displaced, would PRP actually help? And why am I still having so much pain if some doctors say the ACL isn't torn? My back and neck hurt too, and I'm not sure what to do next.

I have a grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus but can walk fine and bend my knee fully. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?
A grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus usually indicates a complete tear, which typically does not heal on its own due to limited blood supply in that area. However, if you're not experiencing pain, instability, or functional limitations, conservative management like physiotherapy may be sufficient. An orthopedic consultation is recommended to assess the need for surgery based on your activity level and symptoms.

I've been dealing with AVN in my hip at stage 3 for over a year now and have seen an orthopedic doctor, but there's no improvement. They're suggesting a hip replacement, but I'm not too keen on surgery. Are there any other treatment options I could try?
It is very difficult to get away from AVN and avoid surgery. Ultimately you will need surgery for sure. You can post your MRI pictures
