Brief Answer:
Can heal with conservative management.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The MRI scan report shows a meniscus injury with a small fracture. This can heal conservatively in a cast in 6-8 weeks. These minor injuries usually do not need a surgical repair.
The joint fluid and bone marrow edema suggest an inflammation in the area. This will also subside with rest in a cast. Do consult an orthopedician for proper management.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
