The other patient was a 63-year-old lady suffering from post-polio residual paralysis of the lower limbs. We performed a constrained total knee replacement on her and she is now able to walk without a calliper. The third case was a hip replacement surgery on a 75-year-old elderly patient who had undergone 2 surgeries in the past which didn’t lead to apositive result.
