Surgery is not always required. You may need assessment with MR scan to look at MPFL (medial patello femoral ligament). Treatment is mostly conservative and with physiotherapy. If there is a structural problem, then surgery can be required. Please see a good orthopaedic surgeon. Dr M Vashishtha FRCS, www.dr-mv.com
