Replying to Dislocated Kneecap Advice?

Sup ya'll - had my first real ski injury last week - fractured patella, MPFL tear and dislocated kneecap.

Just had my follow up with the doctor who told me surgery is optional, and I should be able to get it back to about 90% with just PT and exercise, but without the surgery I have a much greater chance of re-dislocating it. Surgery will always be an option to get back to full strength, so I'm thinking of going to go the PT route to see how good I can get it, but I'm a super indecisive person and wanted to see if there was anyone else on here who's had this injury or has any other advice to share.
