Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the knee injury you sustained and these MI findings.
Given your age and these findings, I will strongly encourage you to consider going in for a surgical repair. This is because if nothing is done, you will soon be unable to use this articulation in the nearest future and complications are almost inevitable. As of now, i am certain you are unable to make great use of this joint and must have limited your daily level of activity greatly. ifnothing is done, it will only get worse.

Hope you find this helpful.
I wish you the very best of outcomes.
I strongly recommend that you consider surgical repair of these lesions.
