Send us a textWe tackle three common orthopedic questions submitted through YouTube, Facebook, and podcast emails. From diagnostic challenges to treatment options, these Q&As provide practical guidance for patients experiencing hip, foot, and knee conditions.• Young adults with hip pain that mimics arthritis might actually have labral tears or femoral acetabular impingement requiring MR arthrogram for diagnosis • Morton's neuroma and metatarsalgia can coexist because they share common causes like calf tightness and forefoot pressure• Metatarsalgia encompasses several diagnoses including sesamoiditis, capsulitis, and plantar plate tears• Morton's neuroma typically causes paresthesia in the third/fourth toes with sharp, shocking pain• Treatment for foot conditions includes orthotics, stretching, metatarsal pads and intrinsic strengthening• ACL tears won't heal themselves, but some patients can function well without surgical repair• Secondary restraints (menisci, capsule, muscles) significantly influence knee stability after ACL injury• Non-athletes and those avoiding cutting/pivoting sports are better candidates for non-surgical ACL management
