Hi, considering your age and the examination findings along with the MRI report, I'd suggest a repeat examination after 3 weeks by an Orthopaedic surgeon. If there is persistent instability, then you may need to undergo surgery
Next Steps
Physiotherapy - Quadriceps strengthening exercises
Wear a long knee brace while walking.
Health Tips
Avoid any strenuous activities such as running or jumping.
