Posterior horn of medial Meniscus should be repaired. But final decision is on arthoscopic evaluation and can be treated arthoscopically at same time. Physiotherapy started from second day as tolerated.
After meniscal repairs non-wight bearing for 3 weeks. So the treatment for you is arthoscopic meniscoraphy or partial menisectomy.
