Knee Dislocation. MRI Shows Focal Bone Marrow Bruising, Minimally Depressed Fracture. Meaning? Treatment Options?

I twisted and dislocated my knee eight weeks ago whilst walking uphill. I had an MRI just over two weeks ago and it showed that there was focal bone marrow bruising at the lateral margin of the trochlear. A minimally depressed fracture at the inferomedial margin of the patella with adjancent bone marrow bruising. A partial thickness tear at the patellar attachment of the medial retinaculum and moderate patellofemoral dysplasia . My doctor did not really explain what any of that means and has referred me to a specialist. Can anyone explain this and let me know what sort of treatment options there are?
