Can doctors use bone graft instead of metal rod?
Hello I am interested in doing a limb lengthening surgery but I have a fear of inserting a metal rod can doctors also have an option to insert a bone graft(which is from another donor) so that it will be more good for PPL

Answered on 12th Dec '24
Although metal rods are often used in this process, I understand that patients may be very apprehensive. Bone grafts from donors can also be a choice, but they are scarce and depend on the case. The method of this type of treatment is to promote natural growth that will be fully integrated into your body. It is important to consider all options with a skilled orthopedic surgeon, so that they can thoroughly assess your situation and suggest the best approach.

I’m 20 year old male. I’m feeling pain in only a single spine while stretching and while bending my neck too much. The pain in the spine that is between the scapula. The pain in not radiating or spreading. It is only on that single spine
Male | 20
It sounds like there might be a sore muscle in your spine between your shoulder blades. It can result from overexertion or bad posture. The symptoms are pain when you stretch or bend your neck. To help, try mild stretching, use a heating pad, and take the prescribed pain relievers. In case the pain remains or the situation gets worse, consult an orthopedist who will examine you further.

What is best treatment for ACL disturb from shoulder sife
Male | 44
Your shoulder issue seems like a rotator cuff injury. Pain rises when you lift your arm or reach overhead. You feel weakness in the shoulder area too. It gets tough to move your arm in certain ways. Resting is key for healing. Physical therapy helps strengthen shoulder muscles. If the injury is bad, surgery may be required. Don't do things that make pain worse. Visit an orthopedist for full recovery.

My mother's leg has been swollen for almost a year since she started sitting at the shop, but when she stays at home the swelling goes away...why
Female | 45
Your mom may have peripheral edema, which can cause swelling in her legs. For example, sitting still for too long can cause fluid to accumulate in her legs, leading to swelling. This happens because sitting reduces blood circulation. When she's at home and moving around, the swelling reduces because movement helps the fluid flow back up. Encouraging her to take short walks or do leg exercises while at the shop can help reduce the swelling.

growth plates checking by x ray
Male | 19
Growth plates are special areas in children's bones. They allow the bones to grow longer. An X-ray can show if a child's growth plates are still open. This means the child is still growing taller. Some signs of problems with growth plates are pain, swelling, or one limb being longer than the other. Growth plate issues can happen after injuries. They can also be caused by certain medical conditions. Treatment depends on what is wrong. It may involve resting the area, doing physical therapy exercises, or sometimes surgery.

Hello, today I had a deep massage session for my chest and stomach. The pain was horrible in my chest. Till now I can feel it in my bones when I move, so I’m just concerned about the pain. Is it normal? I tried to get up minutes before and I felt dizziness in my eyes and I couldn’t see clearly, I also felt coldness in my fingers and heard noises in my ears It was just for seconds
Female | 20
It's not normal to feel terrible chest pain after having a massage. Dizziness, blurred vision, cold hands and noises in the ears are not good signs following a massage. This could happen if certain areas were pressed during the massage or if blood circulation was affected. You should take a break, drink some water and use a warm cloth to calm your muscles down. Seek medical help if the symptoms continue or become worse.

Painful swollen foot in 85 y old lady since 20 days after possible eversion injury Treated conservatively with walking air cast but little improvement Your kind opinion
Female | 85
An outward roll of the ankle may cause immediate pain and swelling, so an eversion injury is likely. There could be mild fractures or other problems missed by the initial examination or X-rays. I would advise you to get it checked again, if not much progress has been made in the next 3 weeks even while using an air cast for support.

I’m curious how much this usually cost, I have pre existing sprain or slight tears as well. That I’m sure this or stem cells else where could fix. I’m just looking for a ball park range since insurance won’t convert it
Male | 31
It is difficult to estimate the cost without knowing the severity of your injury and the treatment required. You can also visit hospitals that provide stem cell therapy and discuss your options with the specialists and getting a detailed cost breakdown, insurance coverage before proceeding with any treatment.

Tibia and fibila frecture
Male | 29
Tibia and fibula fractures involve broken lower leg bones. Pain, swelling, and inability to move the leg characterize symptoms. Falls or accidents commonly cause these injuries. Treatment involves casts or surgical repair of bones. Ice, rest, and leg elevation help relieve pain and swelling. Recovering full strength and mobility often requires physical therapy.

I may have a sprain on my ankle/foot. Here's my signs pain. mild heat and redness. loss of movement and strength around the ankle and foot. difficulty walking or going up or down stairs. tingling, numbness or pins and needles in the affected area.
Male | 14
A sprain occurs when the ligaments around your joints are stretched or damaged. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the injured affected part among others. To help with a sprain, it's important to rest, ice the injured area, compress it with a bandage, and elevate your foot. In case If the pain doesn't go away, be sure to see an orthopedist for medical advice.

Sir have pain in left knee It was showing as acl sprain and Hyper Lesion on pcl then it mention as gamglion
Female | Ranganayagi
Your symptoms – pain, an ACL sprain – suggest one thing: there’s been some injury there. Hyperextension of the PCL or even just having a ganglion cyst could also cause trouble with movement and make things uncomfortable in general. But don’t worry – rest up that joint, apply some ice on it, and listen to whatever the doctor says needs doing.

My mother is suffering from arthritis for decades. She has twisted toes, fingers and other joints. do you have som program for arthritis patients.
Female | 66
This disease causes the joints to become sore and start to become stiff. Swollen fingers and toes are usual symptoms. Arthritis occurs when the cushion located in a joint degenerate. It can be a result of aging, an old injury, or the genetic background. To assist, your mother can engage in some light exercising, eat healthy food, and take medication prescribed by a doctor.

My mother had an accident more than 10 years ago on her left thumb and without getting any proper treatment , her left thumb is not working voluntarily and its always folded. She can still feel pain but could not move her thumb. Is there any chance her thumb can work?
Female | 61
Nerves make our muscles move. If a nerve is hurt, the muscle it goes to won't work. The best thing for her thumb is to do exercises that might wake up the muscles and see a person who treats her hands. If someone is hurt it is important to get help fast so they can get better. Visit an orthopedist for further consultation.
