Do I need knee surgery for a small tear and stress fracture?

I just received the results of my MRI that state that I have a small tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus extending to the inferior articular surface, a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament and a stress fracture of the lateral tibial plateau.

Is surgery necessary, or will physical therapy be enough? If surgery is necessary, how long is the recovery period?

Thanks!

lolol...ok, i realize i should have put this in details in the first place but, i'm actually at work and i got the mri report via email and I was curious as to what these injuries entail...

i'm meeting my doctor tomorrow

You already know what is wrong with you and you are asking on Yahoo Answers for medical advise?? If you should have surgery???

Really??

I think I would trust your doctors,, not just anyone with a computer and access to Yahoo.

Here is a link that can give you medical information from professionals.
