Please help me out understanding this diagnosis

This was the diagnosis on the MRI disc. I am trying to understand what it means. Do I need to fix the meniscus and ACL? Sounds like it. I was hoping someone with more knowledge could help me out.

Thanks.

TECHNIQUE: Sagittal PDS FSE and T2 fat sat FSE, coronal and axial PD fat
sat FSE, coronal T2 FSE through region of the ACL.
FINDINGS: There is a vertical cleavage tear involving the peripheral
one-third of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus that extends from the
junction of the posterior root medially to the medial corner of the
posterior horn, which is best seen on the sagittal sequences. Vertical
increased linear signal intensity is seen extending to the superior meniscal
surface along the posterior peripheral margin of the posterior horn of the
lateral meniscus lateral to the level of the junction of diminutive ligament
of Wrisberg compatible with vertical cleavage tear, reference images 5-8 of
series 4 and 5. There is relatively diffuse architectural distortion and
heterogeneous intermediate signal intensity alteration of the ACL compatible
with complete ACL tear that is subacute to chronic, given lack of
surrounding soft tissue inflammatory edema within the intercondylar notch or
presence of bone contusions to indicate acute injury. The PCL is intact.
Mild intermediate interstitial signal is seen in the PCL that could
represent early myxoid degeneration or residua of mild sprain injury. The
collateral ligaments are intact. The extensor mechanism is intact. The
visualized bones are intact with overall normal bone marrow signal pattern.
The articular cartilage of the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joints is
maintained. No knee effusion or popliteal cyst is seen. Visualized muscles
and soft tissues about the knee are normal.
