My MRI shows bone marrow contusions in both femur and tibia condyles with moderate synovial effusion, a grade 2 ACL tear, horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and grade 1 MCL sprain. I've been doing quad and ROM exercises at home for almost 2 months do I really need surgery or can I keep managing this without going under the knife

It's been 80 days since my tibia surgery where they used plates and nails for both legs. The swelling has gone down but I'm still unsure can I start walking now or do I need to wait longer? I'm worried about putting weight on them too soon.

You should walk now. Continue active non weight bearing mobilisation of knee,ankle and hip. Start with partial weight bearing with walker. Then progress to full weight bearing. Pain relief will be important.Please get the latest xray to see bony union which will decide the weight bearing on the limbs

I have a congenital curve in my penis that bends to the left like a banana, around 30-35 degrees. Do I need surgery for this? I'm still a virgin and worried about how this might affect me. What are my options?

Most congenital penile curvatures are mild and don't require treatment. But in more severe cases, your penis is significantly bent or twisted along the shaft. This can make you feel self-conscious, cause pain or affect sexual function.

I had ACL reconstruction surgery using a hamstring graft from my own leg. Does the part where they took the graft grow back or heal completely? Will my hamstring ever be the same as before the surgery?

The donor site in hamstring graft heals but might not fully regain original strength; with rehab, function usually recovers well but may feel slightly different.
