‘Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability.’
The disease started affecting the knee joints of Bilquis, a resident of Muzaffarnagar, 20 years ago. Slowly, the knees started getting crooked and progressed to a stage, where they completely bent to 90 degrees, forcing Bilquis to be bedridden since the last five years.
