Anyone have a lateral release for knee problems??

I've been having patella tracking problems for years and have tried many things (meds, physio, cortisone, synvisc and most recently a failed microfracture surgery). Doctor is now recommending a lateral release. Online experiences are very mixed and I was wondering if anyone here has had patella tracking issues and found something that worked and/or had a lateral release?? Thanks in advance!

    Friend had a lateral release and his knee wasn't right for over a year. I haven't seen him in 6 years, so I'll FB him and ask.
