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.

My knee MRI shows a complete ACL tear and I'm really worried - is surgery the only option? What happens if I choose not to get the ACL reconstruction? I'm scared about the recovery process and whether I'll be able to play sports again without it
While ACL reconstruction surgery is a common and often recommended treatment for a complete ACL tear, it's not always the only option. If you choose not to have surgery, your knee will likely remain unstable, potentially limiting your ability to participate in sports and other activities. However, with diligent rehabilitation and careful management, some individuals can live relatively active lives without surgery

My mom is 63 and has severe knee pain in both knees. The doctor recommended knee replacement but she's worried because she's overweight at 80 kg and 5.1 feet tall. Is it safe for her to get the surgery? Also, what's the difference between robotic knee replacement and regular knee replacement? How long does recovery usually take?
Surgery can be done in overweight patients if diabetes is stable; robotic offers better precision, recovery is 4–6 weeks.
