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.

I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand based on my NCSEPS EMG report showing prolonged distal latency and reduced AMP and NCV in the median nerve studies. Two doctors an orthopedic surgeon and a neuropathy surgeon both recommended carpal tunnel release surgery. Who is better suited to perform this surgery, an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist surgeon? Also, between microscopic and endoscopic surgery, which one has better success rates for healing?
Both orthopedic and neurological surgeons are qualified to perform carpal tunnel release surgery, and there isn't a clear consensus on which is "better." The choice often comes down to surgeon preference and experience. Endoscopic and microscopic techniques both offer good success rates, with endoscopic surgery potentially leading to faster recovery and less postoperative pain for some patients

I'm a 40-year-old from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in the medial and lateral meniscus of my left knee along with an ACL tear. The report mentions an oblique tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness mid-substance ACL tear with some retraction. I consulted two orthopedic doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own without surgery What should be my next steps given my age and daily routine
ortho opinion is advised to the patient at apollo hospital.
