Minor Achilles tendon injuries heal on their own. Your self care routine can follow these steps

  • Resting your leg

You can also take anti-inflammatory painkillers and practice light stretching and strengthening exercises. Doctors may recommend a surgery if your Achilles is torn.

limb lengthening surgery how many inches?

This surgery can add up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) to a leg.

 

Considerations:

  • The safe lengthening range is 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in the thigh bone (femur).
  • If lengthening exceeds 3 inches in either bone, the same might result in more complications.
  • A separate lengthening procedure can be performed one year after the previous surgery in the shin bones (tibiae) region to gain 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) more.

 

Hope our answer satisfies your query!

Hi, I am 14 years old and I have had pain in my knee for months now and I am a gymnast and sometimes when I land there is a shot of pain that goes straight through my kneecap and it feels like it just breaks and then it will hurt for about 5 minutes and then I will be fine. I can’t lunge or squat without it hurting and we have tried a lot of things but nothing is working. Thanks!

Your knee pain could be due to ligament sprains or tears, tendonitis or a meniscal tear.. Its common cause of knee pain in young athletes often caused by overuse or repeated stress on the knee joint. It can cause pain around the kneecap that worsens with activities like jumping or squatting. Contact a specialist to get it checked thoruoghly. You need to rest your knee to avoid pain and activities that aggravate your symptoms. Try using ice packs or a cold compress for 10-15 minutes to help reduce pain and swelling.

Before medical consultation with your doctor, there are a few tests that you can get like x-ray, bone density test, blood tests, MRI or CT scan. If you visit a doctor near you they can assist you with the tests that are important for you.
