What are the downsides of choosing a hamstring graft instead of a patellar graft for ACL surgery I'm a 19-year-old athlete and worried about how it might affect my performance or recovery long-term Is a hamstring graft worse than a patellar graft for ACL reconstruction I play sports and want to know if it'll impact my strength or flexibility later As a young athlete getting ACL surgery, should I avoid a hamstring graft I've heard it might not be as strong as the patellar option and I don't want to risk my future in sports What are the risks of using a hamstring graft for ACL repair I'm 19 and really active so I need something that won't hold me back later Would a hamstring graft make my recovery harder or limit my athletic ability compared to a patellar graft I'm only 19 and want to get back to sports as strong as before

I have a ganglion cyst and it doesn't really hurt much but I'm worried it might get bigger. Do I need surgery or can medicine or injections stop it from growing? What should I do about it?
A ganglion cyst that isn't painful may not require immediate treatment, but it's worth monitoring for any changes in size or symptoms. If it starts causing pain, hindering movement, or growing, options like aspiration (draining the fluid) with or without a steroid injection, or surgery to remove the cyst, may be considered.

My 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.
