Is knee realignment surgery worth it?

Is knee realignment surgery worth it?

Hi. I had a lateral release in June (2011). The surgery hasn't helped and it almost disclocated again today. My orthopedic has been talking about realignment of the knee. I was wondering if it is really worth it and if it will help. If you have had this done please contact me ASAP and tell me if you are pleased with the results. Thank you! :)

Hi there!

Well, this would be a difficult question to answer without knowing the clinical details such as the actual defect, its severity and the associated disability. If it has been suggested by your orthopedician, it may probably be worthwhile. The best I can suggest is to discuss this in detail with your orthopedician and if still in doubt, you may seek a second opinion with another orthopedician.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!

Oh trust me, I wouldn't let anyone else other than my orthopedic do the surgery. I trust him to do it. Lol.
Thanks. :)
