Most of the times surgery is not needed. But it needs clinical examination.

Hello Practo User, You have to give more clinical information. Giving advice based on the MRI REPORTS is not correct. Not every condition like you mentioned will require surgery. If you are worried of surgery or you have not understood the situation well, I advice you to take a second opinion from another Orthopaedic doctor.
Health Tips
You will get confusing answers on online platform based on your reports,so get examined by whichever Orthopaedic doctor you can visit and take a decision finally.
