Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the MRI report attached. It shows tear of Anterior cruciate ligament(ACL). It is the ligament that connect the thigh and leg bone. It needs arthroscopic ACL reconstruction( Surgery). It involves replacing your torn ligament with a graft.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
