Femur or Tibia: Sprinting Speed Impact
Is a longer femur or longer tibia better for sprinting speed?

Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 8th Aug '24
Having a longer femur is better for sprinting speed. The femur is your thigh bone. A longer femur helps power your sprints. However, a longer tibia below your knee strains leg muscles. A longer femur gives you an advantage for sprinting speed. Be sure to train safely and avoid overworking muscles though.

Male | 30
Joint pain can occur due to various reasons such as injury, arthritis, or overuse. Symptoms may involve swelling, stiffness, and limited movement. To relieve the pain, you can try resting, applying ice packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. If the pain continues, consulting an orthopedist would be the best option.

Dear Sir/Madam,I live in Iran.My mother has fallen to the ground, and hurt her hip. Her pain has reduced a lot since more than 2 weeks ago (January 27th), but she still feels pain. She says it's about 8% of the pain she felt 2 weeks ago. What can we do to reduce her pain? She refuses to go to the doctors.She is 70 years old, has severe osteoporosis, blood pressure, mild cardiac arrhythmia, and acid reflux. Famotidine, Amlodipine, Bisoprolol, Chlorediazepoxide. She used to have Calcium supplements. Never had any treatments for Osteoporosis, not that I remember.
Female | 70
Given her age and existing health conditions, it's important to address her hip discomfort carefully. Encourage gentle movement or physical therapy exercises tailored for osteoporosis to enhance mobility and strength. Additionally, applying heat or cold packs may provide relief. Since she has not received specific treatment for osteoporosis, consider discussing calcium and vitamin D supplements with her if she hasn't been taking them regularly. While I understand her reluctance, an orthopedist can offer targeted advice and ensure there are no serious underlying issues.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever
Male | 56
Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

Navicular pain can happen due to stress fractures, tendonitis, arthritis, structural issues, injuries, or ill-fitting footwear. Avoid self diagnosis and seek advice from an orthopedist for your foot pain.

Female | 50
Maybe, your mom is facing some problems with her blood circulation on the left leg. If your mom's leg puffs up and then it becomes normal, this can be a symptom of circulation problems. The pain she's feeling might be because her leg is receiving insufficient blood. She needs to consult with an orthopedist about this to know what is happening with her and get the proper treatment to her feel better.

Injury on the leg caused by stepping on a nail
Male | 4
If you step on a nail, wash the spot with soap and water right away. This cleans the cut. Then put a new bandage on it. Check the cut every day. Look for signs of infection. That can mean redness, feeling hot, or pus coming out. If you see those things, go to the doctor fast. They can give you medicine to keep the infection from getting worse.

I have phase 2 ACL injury. Now I can climb stairs but sometimes feel pain slightly during downstairs. But there is slight swelling. Should I go for Physiotherapy? I supposed to journey by bus and auto. Sometimes feels slight buckles in my knee.
Male | 35
You better see an Orthopedic Specialist. ACL injuries necessitate accurate diagnosis and treatment to prevent additional damage. Sometimes physiotherapy may be beneficial, but it is more advisable to seek the advice of a specialist in order to get an adequate treatment regimen. Since the buckling can be a symptom of an unstable joint, you must address it immediately.

Spine and leg pain problem
Male | 21
There are several possible reasons why this is happening. Sometimes it happens because of nerve problems in the spine; sometimes it occurs due to muscle strain or injury. To alleviate these discomforts, perform light stretching exercises, apply ice packs or heat pads on the affected area, or take non-prescription painkillers. If these measures fail to provide relief, visit an orthopedist.

My father is 80 yrs old and is on blood thinner medicines as he has undergone valve replacement surgery of heart. he now wants to go for knee replacement surgery as he cannot walk due to pain. Please guide if he can go for it and is it safe for him. Thank you
Male | 80
Yes. Of course he can go for knee replacement surgery. For this blood thinner has to be stopped 5 days before and should be replaced with some other medicine and after 5 days surgery can be done very successfully. This surgery is very safe and rewarding.

I am 18 years old.Suffering from knee pain on right leg left side.i decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kgs.feeling neck pain and spinal cord pain
Female | 18
The knee pain on the outer side might be from some trauma or strain. The hurting of the neck and the spinal cord can be from bad posturing and muscle tension. You need to let that affected region recover, apply ice to the area, and do light stretching with the injured or painful part. Always keep your posture in the right way and make more decisions to reach out to a physiotherapist as a part of your strategy to get better quicker.

I am 25 years old lady. I had an injury to knee during 23 rd dec 2024.Doctor tell me that I have fracture in knee. They don't explain how severe that. Please explain
Female | 25
You seem to have a knee fracture, which is a condition that can cause pain, swelling, and movement difficulty in the affected joint. Such injuries are most frequently seen in the patients who fell or were in accidents. The severity of the condition varies with the type and place of the fracture. The typical treatment is to lie down, apply ice, and use a compression bandage, and also, have your doctor’s orders closely followed. Sometimes conservative management with a splint or even surgery is indicated. Make sure to have a check-up with your orthopedist, which allows you to talk about your situation and receive medical treatment.

My mother is 36 years old Her leg pain in two days ago she said that my leg cant bear my weight Pain in my leg is too much when i stand in floor Suggest me some good medicine for my leg pain
Female | 36
I understand your mother is experiencing significant discomfort in her leg, which may result from strain, injury, or even muscle or joint issues. She needs to rest and elevate her leg to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relief medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help, but it’s crucial to follow the dosage instructions on the label. However, given the severity of her symptoms, I encourage you to consult an orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment tailored to her needs.
