Patella realignment surgery, do you think it is worth it?

Ask Expert: See the orthopaedic specialist. Depends on the current symptoms, your needs to be happy and comfortable, and the risk/benefit ratio. At your age, look for the long-term success with doing the surgery or doing nothing. Good luck. (talk to patients who have had it done.).

Definitely, yes: However, in many cases, seeking a second opinion is not only warranted, but necessary. Unless your disease is life threatening and requires emergency care, it is never a bad idea to seek a second opinion. Getting a second opinion helps you feel more confident about your diagnosis and treatment plan.
