Let me explain: Let me start with question, did you have mri, if you have it will if the meniscus torn or not. There is two they could address your question. 1-if the meniscus is not torn they could take the cyst out by small incision, that will not require arthroscopy. 2-meniscus torn(positive mri) yes you need arthroscopy.
