A stone fell on my left shoulder and caused a wedge compression in D12 on June 17. Can you check my MRI reports and advise how to recover from this? Do I need surgery or will medicine and rest be enough?

View allI've had a fully torn ACL and grade 3 meniscus tear since May 6th. My orthopedic doctor recommended surgery but I've been trying physiotherapy instead - my leg has improved but still feels weak. Is surgery the only option at this point or could continued physio help me recover fully?
Severe ACL and meniscus tears often need surgery for full recovery. Physiotherapy may improve strength but rarely restores full stability.

it's been a year since my tibial plateau surgery with a 6 inch plate and I still get pain when standing for around 10 minutes - is this normal or should I be concerned about how it's healing?
It's understandable to be concerned about persistent pain after a tibial plateau fracture surgery, even after a year. While some degree of pain and stiffness is expected during recovery, prolonged pain warrants further evaluation. It's crucial to consult your surgeon or orthopedic specialist to determine the cause of your pain and discuss potential next steps.

The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing
