Hello @hbaudouin, I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing complications from your knee replacement. I'd like to invite a few members who have dealt with patellar fractures either during or after their knee replacements who may be able to share their experiences with you: @krikett and @patellaprob.

@hbaudouin - seeking second and third opinions is not always as simple as it sounds. Do you have any barriers in seeking another outside opinion (like insurance, travel, etc.)? The suggestions from @mesor and @brockagain are validated suggestions, but is this something you think you'd be able to seek?

Yes, insurance is probably my biggest barrier. I want to go to the Mayo Clinic; however, it is out of network for me. My husband and I are thinking about changing insurance to see if they will cover the Mayo Clinic. How do I get to @mesor and @brockagain's suggestions?
