Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 70-year-old experiencing severe knee pain, knee replacement is a viable option, and it's often considered a life-changing procedure to improve mobility and reduce pain. A comprehensive consultation with an orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacements is the first step to determine if it's the right choice, and they can guide you on the best package options for both knees.

I've had an ACL injury that doesn't seem to be healing properly - my knee still makes popping sounds and hurts when I try to move it. I can't bend my knee all the way or climb stairs without pain. Should I consider surgery for this?

I'm 27 and have knock knees (genu valgum). Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'm worried about how it affects me long-term and if exercises or braces could help
In almost all cases of genu valgum, the condition will resolve before a child reaches adolescence. For older children and adults, the most likely form of therapy involves stretches and exercises to realign the knees and relieve pain. Some people might find relief with orthotics or braces
