Consider surgery: You may have to consider surgery. A displaced meniscal tear cincase pain and the clicking you are desribing. Depending on the location of the tear, surgery involves either trimming or repairing the tear. Thank you for your question.

You may need surgery: With the symptoms you described and the MRI findings it is highly likely that you will require arthroscopic knee surgery.
