Which graft is better for ACL surgery hamstring or patellar tendon? I've heard the hamstring graft has fewer issues with knee pain later on, but I'm not sure if it's as strong. What are the pros and cons of each option?

View allCan I get a total hip replacement done under spinal anesthesia if I have ankylosing spondylitis but my spine isn't fused yet I'm worried about general anesthesia because I feel weak and have breathlessness issues no other health problems diagnosed so far
Yes, you can likely have a total hip replacement under spinal anesthesia even with ankylosing spondylitis if your spine isn't fused yet. Regional anesthesia, including spinal and epidural, is often preferred over general anesthesia for hip replacements, and can be safely used in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Post surgery the wires needs to removed between 10-14 days after surgery If sutures are absorbable they get dissolve over time ,whereas the non -absorbable needs to be manually removed by a healthcare professional.

My 7.5-year-old son had femur surgery with a titanium wire implant and has fully recovered. I'm really nervous about anesthesia since he's had it three times in the last six months. Is it okay to leave the implant as it is or does it need to be removed?
