Bhandup resident Vaishali Maykar (38) has spent the last six years bed-ridden. She was unable to move her legs, that remained bent at 90° angles at her knees. The mere act of trying to flex her leg muscles left her writhing in pain. “I developed a knee problem in 2002 as I was suffering from arthritis. But around six years ago, it got to a point where I could not even keep my legs straight, let alone stand,” said Maykar.

Learning to walk again: After successful completion of a complex surgery, Vaishali Maykar will now be able to use her legs again
