Hi
Thanks for writing
After going through your sister suffering, to make her stand she may require minor surgery and calliper afterwards. Having said that this require in depth physical examination and proper planning.
As far as charges are concerned there are many social organisations that are doing this work at very nominal charges. You may contact narayan sewa sansthan Udaipur, India.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
