I've been told I need surgery for a tear in my posterior labrum. How safe is the procedure and what are the risks? Also, what exactly are bio absorbable sutures do they dissolve in the body or stay there permanently?

Posterior labrum repair is safe with risks of stiffness,nerve injury,or instability.Bio-absorbable sutures dissolve over months and do not need removal.

I just got my MRI report and it shows a bucket handle tear in the body and posterior horn of the medial meniscus, along with grade I chondromalacia patellae and moderate joint effusion with suprapatellar bursal fluid. I'm really worried do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with physiotherapy? What are my options here?

Bucket handle tear requires Arthroscopic meniscal repair, if tear is 2 months and less. Menisectomy if it's old.
