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.

I'm 24 and have bow legs what's the estimated cost for surgery, how long does recovery usually take, and what are the success rates like? I'm a bit worried about the whole process and want to understand what to expect.
Surgical correction for bow legs (osteotomy) typically costs between ‚Çπ1.5 to ‚Çπ3 lakhs per leg in India, depending on the hospital and surgeon. Recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months, including physiotherapy. Success rates are high (over 90%) with proper post-op care. It's normal to feel anxious, but most patients are satisfied with the results.

My dad is 60 and has had knee pain for 12 years due to osteoarthritis. The doctor recommended knee replacement surgery, but we're wondering if there's any way to manage or reduce the pain without going through surgery
A total knee replacement surgery is a valid treatment option for severe knee pain and functional limitations due to osteoarthritis, even at age 60. The decision to proceed with surgery should be made collaboratively with a doctor, considering the individual's overall health, activity level, and the impact of the pain on their daily life
