What Do The Following MRI Results Indicate?

Surgery is the best option.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You have a full thickness tear of the posterior horn of medial meniscus. This can only be repaired surgically. Waiting for the surgery due to other commitments will decrease the chances of healing, cause degeneration and weakening of tissue in the area. It is best to get the surgery done early to have best results.
You can take mild pain killers like Motrin till you plan the surgery. Using a knee support till then is recommended to add stability to your knee joint.
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.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Not likely to be work related.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
This is less likely to be a work related injury as the knee joint shows degenerative changes which has precipitated the tear even with minimal trauma. After the surgical repair the knee will become stable but you will need strengthening exercises after sometime to regain the full strength of the muscles.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
