Oliver just had surgery on both back knees. The first surgeon we went to was not board certified and was highly recommended. We took oliver to be examined by him and although he said he could do the patella surgery, he could not do what is called "a tibial crest movement", and oliver needed that as shown in his xrays. So he recommended that we go to an orthopedic board certified specialist. That is who did the surgery. The first one said that without the tibial crest movement done on oliver, we might be looking at the same thing happening 4 or 5 years down the road. Oliver's legs were pretty bad... Good luck with yours!!
