Hi..
As per the MRI it is appearing to be ACL tear as well as joint effusion..
Non invasive treatment can help, however if does not improve then surgical intervention can be done..

Hope this helps..

A proper rehabilitation programme like physiotherapy, rest, ice application, elevation and compression can help..
Knee brace can be advised.

So proceedings as per your Orthopaedic Surgeon..
