Hello,

I have studied your case.

Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.

small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG andTENS.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
