You can travel if there's not much pain/swelling
MRI will tell the size location and grade of tear which will decide whether it needs surgery or not. USG is not required

The future course would depend on your symptoms, your demands and what we find on MRI!
If you can be careful with your knee and don't have much of symptoms you can go ahead!
Else you will have to postpone the plan!
