Hello welcome to the health care magic
You are having complete muscle tear and so joint effusion as well.
CT scan report should be done to look for grade of muscle tendon injury.
Intralesional steroid can be given to relieve inflammation
If age and clinical condition permit than surgical treatment is needed
Hope this will help you
Take care
Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and discuss your case
