Sarah,
It is important to get multiple opinions before choosing a surgical option.
Before my double ADR I contacted and received opinions from six surgeons. Five of them gave me the same surgical prescription, which gave me confidence that the surgery I was going to have was the right path to choose. If you have an unusually complex case, or a situation that borders on receiving multiple treatments, receiving multiple differing opinions will show you the different options that are available.
I would encourage you to seek opinions until a clear best choice begins to emerge.
Good luck, Jeff
