I had an arthroscopy and open lateral release in May 2009, as my knee cap was mal-tracking. This is a day case operation considering you are in good health so you will be able to go home on the same day. In the arthroscopic part of the procedure a small incision is made to your knee where a camera is inserted so that the surgeon can get a better look at the knee and see what is really causing your problem. This takes about 30-45 minutes.
After this, an incision between 7-10cm long is made down your knee and the surgeon will then cut through the tight retinaculum which will then allow your knee cap to sit properly in its groove. When I had mine, they cut through some of my nerves too which resulted in a loss of feeling down the left side of my knee, this doesn't always happen but when it does, you may not get the feeling back as it may be damaged beyond repair
