My dad has a large 12 x 8.5 x 7 cm thin-walled cystic lesion filled with fluid in his right upper back between the scapula and spine near the trapezius muscle. The MRI showed no chest involvement. What's the best treatment for this can it be drained with a needle or does it need surgery? Also, which specialist should we see for this?

I've been dealing with a fracture in my fifth metatarsal since November 18th, and was told not to walk for 4 weeks. Now that I'm getting back on my feet, my leg isn't quite right. It's weaker and I have a medium level of pain around the fracture area. I had a new X-ray today, and while it looks a bit better, the fracture is still pretty noticeable. I can walk, but I'm only at about 60% of my former strength. Should I be concerned about not seeing more improvement at this point? What else could I do to heal better?

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery

My 5-year-old has a meniscus tear with clicking sounds and discomfort but no locking. Their knee feels unstable should we consider surgery or try other options first?

For a 5-year-old with a meniscus tear causing clicking, discomfort, and knee instability, but without locking, a non-surgical approach is generally recommended as the first step. This typically involves rest, ice, and physical therapy to manage pain and improve knee function. Surgery might be considered if the tear is severe or if non-surgical treatments fail to provide sufficient relief.
