As the best orthopedic surgeon in Jayanagar and surrounding areas of South Bangalore, Dr. Deepak Inamdar assesses physiological fitness rather than chronological age. Patients in their late 70s and 80s regularly undergo Mako robotic knee replacement safely, supported by tailored anaesthesia, a specialist cardiac team, and a dedicated physiotherapy programme.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card active\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-5-9c599a3\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-a4bea8d6a100b7b555f0\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-a4bea8d6a100b7b555f0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-a4bea8d6a100b7b555f0\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">When can I return to normal daily activities after knee replacement in Bengaluru?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-a4bea8d6a100b7b555f0\" class=\" show collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-5-9c599a3\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a100b7b555f0\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>Most patients return to light daily activities cooking, walking around the house, attending religious functions \u00a0by 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.
