Question

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.

Question

I have a mild wedge fracture at L1 and I'm not sure if I should get surgery or just stick to bed rest and physio. What's the better option for healing properly without making things worse?

Question

6 weeks post ACL surgery and my physiotherapist keeps forcefully bending my knee during home visits, causing intense pain. He increases the bend every day with more pressure and also compresses my knee while elevating my leg from the ankle. Is this normal or is he being too aggressive with the recovery process?

Question

The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
