One of the most frequently asked questions by patients considering knee replacement surgery is:“Will I be able to sit cross-legged after the operation?”

This concern is especially relevant in India, where cross-legged sitting is a vital part of cultural and daily life — from meals and prayers to social gatherings.

While many believe it's impossible post-surgery, here's a real-life story that proves otherwise.
