Meniscal tear if not causing mechanical symptoms like locking or foreign body sensation do not need surgery.
Wether it gets cured by itself depends on location of year as meniscus by itself is a Avascular structure.
It also depends on your work profile,needs and body type.

static quadriceps exercises and knee bending exercises will help.
