I am to have a lateral release very soon. Ihave read up on ths topic, read the blogs, and now i don't know if this right for me. One dr. said there is nothing he can do, this one says he can help. If my knee cap is not off track, why do I need this surgery? He says my knee cap is siting to tight, which is causing the underside of the patellla to to cause bone on bone rubbing. Relasing the ligament will help? I am really concerned.
