Hello,
Tears are tears in the cartilage (the lining surface of the joint). Subchondral edema means there is inflammation under where that cartilege should be.
The strain of the medial crusicate ligament is not that serious and is just some inflammation in a tendon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
