Need to be examined by a sports injury trained orthopedic surgeon.
MRI reports, films and examination findings need to be correlated.
If the tear is significant, which grade 3 tears are then she might require some kind of intervention, but it all depends on the position of the tear.
Next Steps
visit a sports medicine, arthroscopic orthopedic surgeon

Grade 3 tears almost always are complete tears..
She might not be having pain for now but her needs to be checked for the tear..
If it is present we should treat it before it becomes more painful and it enlarges in size..
Next Steps
Consultation with Orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination for adequate diagnosis and treatment
