Is there any way to reduce my carrying angle from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery? I have it in both hands and was wondering if specific exercises could help or if surgery is the only option to fix it

Yes, it's possible to reduce an excessive carrying angle (cubitus valgus) from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery, and exercises can be helpful. While surgery may be an option in some cases, yoga and physical therapy exercises can be effective in strengthening the muscles and potentially reducing the angle.

View allMy right leg has been hurting badly after an accident and the MRI at Jorhat Medical College showed a broken ligament. The doctors recommended arthroscopy surgery and suggested I go to Delhi Sports Medicine Centre. I'm really worried about this - can you tell me more about the procedure and if there are any other options? What should I expect during recovery?
If the ACL tear is partial, physiotherapy might be sufficient for recovery. However, if there’s instability in the knee or you’re involved in high-impact activities, surgery (like arthroscopy) may be necessary. Discuss recovery goals with your orthopedic surgeon.
