Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I have read your query with diligence .
It looks from your injury report of MRI that that your injuries are not major one.There is minor fracture of upper part of tibia and inner part at knee where there is grade 1 sprain.All this can be effectively treated conservatively in a cast or splint.You maybe completely recover in 3-4 weeks.Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
Regards.
