What surgery will they do if your knee knee goes to the side when walk, pop/lock up and has extra fluid in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extensor mechanism: Soundslike you may have patellofemoral instability(kneecap slips out of place).If you have failed aquads rehab./bracing program surgical options depend on your anatomy and severity of instability.Lateral release, lateral release w/tibial tubercle ostetomy, and/or medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction are surgical options.Best of luck!
