**Rephrased Query:** My mom's MRI report for her right knee shows a complex grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, mild synovial effusion, and edema in the pre- and intrapatellar region. I'm really worried does this mean she needs surgery, or can a grade 3 meniscus tear heal on its own?
