Abstract

This article gives the permanent way of treating knee instability or in general terms, knee buckling in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. Diabetic patients usually suffer from a lot of potential complications. One of the major setbacks is muscle degeneration due to protein imbalance. This leads to knee weakness and inability to walk normally. This is a main problem in old patients since they are more prone to fall and there is no permanent treatment as of now. Temporary methods like knee braces do not treat this and only act as an assist device. Our main aim is to provide an enduring solution to knee buckling
