Two years ago i had hip surgery. lately we have noticed my knee is sort of caving in, the leg goes inwards at the knee area. why is this? and what

See orthopod: Its unlikely the hp surgery caused a knee problem. More likely, both are manifestations of the same problem, osteoarthritis. Get knee films and see an orthopod. If you are symptomatic, rehab may be enough. If not, surgery may be warranted.
