Its been a few months i have pain in right knee and ankle it tends to get swelled up and stiff and troubles me for basic activities ankle feels stiff when i move it in circular motion this happens when i sit for 1-2 hours on chair or when i cross legs..
Slipped on stone and strained my leg please check the attached x ray and advise if any fracture is present
These are two X-rays aug and sep, and both look the same. My previous doctor said that the fracture is healing and recommended using an arm sling with gentle movement. However, another doctor said that I should have surgery.
My younger brother is 14 years old and has suffered a fracture in his right arm. I need an explanation regarding whether a metal plate should be inserted or if a cast is sufficient.
I am 16 and had a both-bone forearm fracture on 31 August, which was reduced and treated with a long-arm plaster cast. My recent follow-up X-ray was about 1 week ago and I was told the alignment was fine. Today, at around 4 weeks after the fracture, I moved my whole casted arm from approximately 90° to around 110° relative to the ground. During the movement I felt mild-to-moderate pain in a very small area of the upper forearm/below the wrist, but the pain suddenly disappeared while I was still moving the arm. After that, the previous muscle pain/discomfort around my shoulder also suddenly disappeared, and my hand felt noticeably better. At the same time, the plaster suddenly started feeling less snug throughout the arm, although it is not obviously sliding or rotating. I also notice a familiar nerve-irritation/goosebump or moving sensation when I move my fingers, but there is no persistent numbness or tingling. I can move all my fingers normally, and they are normal in colour and temp

Patients arrive in clinic having been told their knee is bone on bone. It sounds final. It is usually said kindly, and it is usually meant as shorthand. But it is worth knowing what it actually describes, because the phrase drives a lot of unnecessary fear and a lot of unnecessary ...
Most discussion about knee replacement focuses on the implant and the technology. The surgical approach, meaning how the surgeon reaches the joint, gets much less attention and yet it is one of the clearer determinants of the first six weeks.The conventional approachThe standard medial ...
