My niece is 14 and was born with clubfoot her left foot is bent and she has trouble walking. I can share her X-ray report. Can this be treated without surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, your niece's clubfoot could potentially be treated without surgery, even at age 14, depending on the severity and the specific treatment approach. While the most effective time to address clubfoot is in infancy, there are techniques that can still be successful in older children.

My uncle has been in the hospital for 10 days with a comminuted displaced fracture of his right acetabulum that also extends into the superior pubic ramus. The scan report suggests surgery but we're unsure is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat this? He's been on bed rest so far and we're worried about the best next steps. Could you give a second opinion on whether surgery is necessary or if there are alternatives?

I'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.
