My mother had knee replacement in july 2018 in lokmanya hospital pune. After 3 months we got to know about quad tendon rupture of right knee, when taken second opinion. In nov. 2018 she had another surgery for this problem in same hospital. But now she cannot raise the foot. Done mri. Now another doctors are advising resurgery. She is 75 years now. She does not want surgery again. Is there any method that can heel quad tendon? And she will be able to walk on her own.
