A member asked:
What is the success rate of lateral release surgery? are follow up procedures likely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable success: Surgery to perform a "lateral release" is designed to help with pain and function of the patello-femoral articulation of your knee. Surgery is typically successful if done in conjunction with a dedicated physical therapy rehab program that is designed to keep your quadriceps healthy and strong. If any arthritis is present under the patella, then further treatment may be necessary.
