If you are going to be participating in vigorous physical activity or recreational sports, then it's better to have your ACL reconstructed by arthroscopy. If you are a professional sportsman then without doubt it has to be reconstructed at the earliest. Tears in the meniscus can be repaired as well but the results are not predictable.
I would recommend physio initially and if instability still persists, then to proceed with arthroscopy.
