My sister has a volar ganglion cyst on her left hand near the radial artery and it's causing her some pain. What's the usual cost for surgery to remove it and is it a complicated procedure?

Surgical removal of a volar ganglion cyst, especially near the radial artery, is generally considered a safe procedure, but it's not always necessary. The cost varies, but it can range from ‚Çπ10,000 to ‚Çπ30,000 or more in India, depending on the hospital and surgeon.

View allMy MRI report shows an ACL tear and meniscus injury in my knee. The orthopedic doctor recommended arthroscopic surgery, saying it's necessary. Is surgery really the only option or are there other treatments I can try first? I'm worried about recovery time and risks
While arthroscopic surgery is often recommended for combined ACL and meniscus injuries, it's not always the only treatment option. Conservative treatment, including physical therapy and bracing, might be suitable for some individuals, particularly those with less active lifestyles or partial tears. A thorough discussion with your doctor about your specific situation, activity level, and goals is crucial to determine the best approach

I'm from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in my left knee medial and lateral meniscus plus an ACL issue. The report mentions an oblique tear in the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness ACL tear with some retraction. I've seen two ortho doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own with physio, or is surgery the only option? What's the best treatment for my case?
Prompt treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening and may improve your chances of a full recovery.Stretching physical therapy is advise.Also RICE treatment is advied to the patient(REST,ICE,COMPRESSION and ELEVATION).Surgery advised is arthroscopy and meniscectomy is the gold standard technique to the patient.

I'm really worried about my elbow. I heard the term "maas fatna" and I'm not totally sure what it means. If there's a moss burst in the elbow, is it always necessary to put a plaster on it? Could there be reasons not to use one, or are there any other treatments or steps I should consider?
Maas fatna" is a colloquial term in some Indian languages, which roughly translates to "muscle burst" or "muscle strain," often referring to a minor injury, such as an elbow blow or a bruise. In the case of an elbow "moss burst" (likely referring to a minor elbow injury or bruise), a plaster might not be strictly necessary. However, it depends on the severity of the injury. For minor elbow injuries: 1. *Apply ice*: Wrap an ice pack or a cold compress in a cloth and apply it to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. 2. *Use a compression bandage*: A compression bandage can help reduce swelling. 3. *Elevate the elbow*: Keep your elbow elevated above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 4. *Take pain relievers*: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can help manage pain and inflammation. If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention: 1. *Severe pain* 2. *Increasing swelling* 3. *Difficulty moving the elbow* 4. *Coldness or numbness in the arm or hand* 5. *Open wound or bleeding*
