Great you wipe the date also from report.
How old is the injury.?
If it's fresh you can wait for 4 week's try good physiotherpy excersies to build quadricep hamstring and hip muscle strong.
(Physiotherpy does not mean visiting physiotherpy for one session in day and your free .it has to be done one time at physio centre and other time like 4 times /day at home . So in total 5times in a day. It should happen to build your muscle strong)
U need proper clinical examination is it significant tear .mri show many things .
What we find clinically we see on mri films not report. And get diagnosis confirm.
Next Steps
go for physiotherpy
visit ortho for detailed clinical examination a knee arthroscopy surgeon.
