Patrial tear may heal up, but remember this is a artificial graft(tendon) so chances of its vascularity are doubtful.
Take rest for 3-4 weeks. Continue static quadriceps exercises. Walk after 3-4 weeks and the feel for any issue.
If you still encounter pain, instability etc.
Yes you should get it removed and reoperated.
