Hello
There is a need for consultation with an knee arthroscopic surgeon who may advise partial meniscetomy and/or with repair of ACL, if implicated.if not then repair of meniscus alone. in same sitting popliteal cyst may be evaluated and removed. It depends on your symptoms and mechanical function of knee, if grossly impaired, arthroscopic surgery is a solution, if slight, then conservative treatment may suffice_ so consult one and let him decide your treatment as necessary
