Unlike organ donation, bone and tendon donation is not a widely embraced concept. However, it’s important to note that bone donation can also bring relief and smiles to recipients, as exemplified by the story of an 81-year-old lady doctor in south Mumbai.

Despite multiple surgeries in Ahmedabad, her condition did not improve, and she could not walk due to irreparable damage to the knee muscle tendon.
