I think that depends who your surgeon is. I went to Daan du Plessis and he has a name to keep up, so his success rate is pretty good. I don't think it's the surgery itself that goes wrong, its post op rehab. One has to start physio and exercises immediately(obviously only to the level your legs permit), and not train too hard too fast. Has to be gradual introduction back into training for a rather long period. Otherwise you'll end up back where you were as result of overtraining. I'll be the guinea pig as so many people told me not to do the surgery whilst others said it was better to do it. I must add that i did try almost everything else before opted to do the surgery. I had physio, rest(3 months no exercise), strengthen glutes, legs, core etc, got innersoles from podiatrist, BG Fit done, foam roller, cortison injections, only thing i didn't try was lynotherapy.
