I've had an ACL injury for the past 2 years and I'm wondering if sports injury surgery can be done without using screws what are my options and how effective are they
Yes, it's possible to manage ACL injuries without surgery, particularly for those who are less active or who don't want to return to high-impact sports. If surgery is necessary, there are minimally invasive techniques that may avoid using screws, such as suture-based repairs or allograft techniques.

What's the difference between a zirconium knee replacement and a high-flex knee replacement? I've heard zirconium implants last longer but not sure if they're better for active people. Also, how does minimally invasive surgery compare to traditional knee replacement in terms of recovery time and pain?
Zirconium and high-flex knee replacements differ primarily in their design and intended function. High-flex replacements are designed to allow for a greater range of motion, while zirconium implants are known for their durability and potential long-term survivorship. Minimally invasive surgery offers a faster recovery and reduced pain compared to traditional knee replacement.
