After the MRI, the doctor and radiologist will read it. If it looks like everything is in place and healing, then things are good. you may have to wear the brace longer and/or go to physical therapy. If things are not healing well, or have move out of place, then surgery is a possibility, but don't worry too much, often knee surgery is minor now and heals quickly. This happened to my husband. He did have minor surgery, and he was fine within a couple months. The doc said it could have gone the other way with no surgery if he had heald better. Hope that's how it goes for you!
You may have done some other tendon or ligament damage to your knee, the MRI should let you know what's going on. Don't be afraid to ask you doctor questions, it's his job to answer them and let you know what's going on with your knee. If you don't understand the answers say so.
i wouldn't worry about it
the doctors are only doing what's best for you
you're inn safe hands
they wouldn't do anything that wasn't neccissary
good luck
