MACI fail and next step advice

Where to even begin. 9/27/2024 wife (32) underwent MACI surgery with surgeon convinced that would solve all knee pain and grinding. Pre MACI wife was college basketball player and working out with minimal pain. Well here we are 17 months post MACI and surgeon says MACI failed and sent us to another surgeon. She still has daily pain. Also post MACI she experienced full quadriceps shut down for the first 2 months. The new surgeon did a scope 2/10/26. We just went to the post op appointment and they are recommending a patella osteochondral allograft with tibial tubercle osteototomy. I’m just here looking for advice on if we should move forward with this new surgery or if anyone has some experience on it that can give how their recovery has been post surgery.
