Is the surgeon's MBBS diploma in orthopedics and DNB in orthopedic surgery enough for my ACL reconstruction surgery tomorrow? I'm a bit worried about their qualifications for this specific procedure

View allIt's been four months since my fracture and I'm still using a walker. The x-ray shows a separate bone fragment will this heal on its own or will I need surgery to fix it?
Whether a separate bone fragment will heal on its own or require surgery depends on several factors, including the size of the fragment, its location, and whether it's causing any pain, functional limitations, or damage to nearby tissues. If it's been four months since the fracture and the fragment hasn't healed, it's possible that it's a non-union fracture, meaning the bone pieces haven't joined together. In these cases, surgery might be necessary to try to promote healing or remove the fragment.

I've been having some issues since I had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon. My body seems to be retaining fluid, I'm gaining weight, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath, which got me wondering if it might be CHF. But my cardiologist says my heart's doing fine, and my pulmonologist says there's no sign of COPD or any respiratory issues. All my liver tests have come back normal too. They're pinning my breathing problems on my weight, but honestly, I feel like the weight gain started after the breathing issues. Could it be possible that something went wrong during my surgery that's causing these symptoms? My foot's still painful too.
no it cannot be because of surgery

I've been experiencing this really sharp, stabbing pain in my right biceps every time I try to move my arm outwards or upwards. It's pretty new and the pain sort of shoots towards my neck. Any idea what could be causing this, or what I should do about it? It's starting to worry me.
The sharp stabbing pain in your right biceps, exacerbated by outward or upward arm movements and radiating to your neck, may indicate a potential issue with your rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or neck (cervical spine); possible causes include bicipital tendinitis, shoulder impingement, or cervical radiculopathy; consult an orthopedic specialist
