Mild cases may improve with physiotherapy and bracing. Severe deformities or persistent discomfort often require orthopedic evaluation for surgical correction.

View allI have a flap tear in the posterior horn of my lateral meniscus and also an ACL tear my ACL surgery is scheduled for next week. Do I really need surgery for the meniscus tear too, or can it heal on its own? I'm worried about having two surgeries and how that might affect recovery.
Whether you need surgery for a flap tear in the posterior horn of your lateral meniscus alongside your scheduled ACL surgery depends on the severity and type of tear, as well as your individual circumstances. While some smaller tears might heal on their own with conservative treatment, larger or more complex tears may require surgery, either at the same time as the ACL surgery or separately. The decision will be made by your orthopedic surgeon, taking into account factors like the tear's size, location, and your overall health

My MRI report says there are PDFS hyperintense signals in the lower half of my ACL with a possible mild partial tear of fibers does this mean I'll need surgery or are there other options to consider first?
A hyperintense signal on an MRI, particularly a PDFS sequence, and a possible mild partial tear of the ACL fibers in the lower half of the ligament, might indicate a Grade 2 injury, which typically suggests a stretching and partial tear. While surgery isn't always the first line of treatment for a partial ACL tear, it's crucial to consult with an orthopedic surgeon or doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation

My left calcaneus bone is bigger and wider than the right one, causing leg pain and a leg length difference. Is there any surgery to make the calcaneus smaller?
While it's not common to surgically reduce the size of a calcaneus (heel bone) to correct leg length discrepancy, there are surgical options for addressing leg length differences and associated pain. These typically involve either shortening the longer leg or lengthening the shorter leg. If the calcaneus is abnormally wide due to a fracture or other condition, surgery to reshape the bone might be an option, but this is a distinct procedure from leg lengthening or shortening
