What are some non-surgical ways to fix knock knees? I've been looking for treatments but haven't found anything solid yet and really don't want to consider surgery. Are there exercises or braces that actually work?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Gentle physiotherapy,quadriceps strengthening,and custom valgus braces can help mild knock knees;severe cases often need orthopedic assessment but many improve non-surgically.

View allHow can I tell if my right knee ACL injury needs surgery and how do I figure out how severe the injury is
To determine if your ACL injury requires surgery, and its severity, a doctor will typically use a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. A complete tear or severe instability usually indicates a need for surgery, while minor tears may be managed with physical therapy.

Broke my tibia 4 weeks ago and have been in a cast without surgery. Got an xray done and attached it here. Wanted to ask how long I need to keep the POP on before it can come off. When can I start putting some weight on the leg and what's this kind of fracture called. Also how long till it heals enough for me to walk without crutches. Been taking Fredcal 500mg twice a day for calcium is that a good choice
Wear the pop for another 2 weeks. After 2 weeks start partial weight bearing. This is called a tibia fracture. In 3 months you can walk mostly normally Use injection vitamin d to ensure good healing
