Hi Texel,Did you get a response from Tommax or make any progress? I am suffering as well after LR cannot walk and wondering if you can share more about your situation. I had subluxated kneecap and tilt, terrible pain and elected this surgery out of desperation for relief. Thanks in advance
Lateral release is the worst and most unnecessary thing you can do to your knee....You pretty much will not be active again.

I second that. LR ist the worst thing a doctor did to me. After two years I still can't walk, lost my job and getting insane by 24/7 pain. My quad muscle is gone, lots of pain. My new doctor suggested a repair with a "z plastic method". I'm not sure about that. But I can't live like that, my life is destroyed.Since I'm from Germany Dr. LaPrade is unfortunately too far for me. Haven't found a specialist around yet. I've read your postings here. What's your status? Have you done the LPFL?
MPFL reconstruction specialists will not be be able to help you. These two surgeries are completely different. Believe me, I thought about that too.

Believe me, I thought about that too. Claus, thanks so much for sharing your experience. I got many questions: When was your MPFL reconstruction?How do you feel now?How was your recovery? What do you mean with "MPFL reconstruction specialists will not be be able to help you"? I thought reconstruction works better then fix. Do you suggest to visit Dr. LaPrade exclusively because of his skills and method? And how much are the costs for the surgery and treatment in summery? I mean I'm so desperated, I would travel around the world to reverse this inhumane mistake they did to me.
