If you lead a sporty lifestyle and have signs of instability..then you should go for Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. This would give you a stable and sturdy knee.
Hinged braces are not the solution for a ACL deificeint knee in a young person like you.
Still you can try to do quadriceps exercises to strengthen your knee..for 6 weeks and then plan the operation if needed.
