Please forward the MRI report. As I feel it must be some meniscus injury. Which he is saying to remove it by arthroscopic surgery.
Please put all the doctor's note.

It is not usually common to see some excessive muscle tissue in the joint..
I think further details and investigations are needed for better evaluation and management..
