Hello.. Well I would suggest you to meet an orthopaedic surgeon in first place for advice...Well yes the tear is there but I don't think you would require any procedure for it as of now..He would suggest you rest, proper physiotherapy and knee cap which will take care of the effusion too..Thank you
