Yes... Since its a full thickness tear i would recommeNd you to do physiotherapy for few weeks and see if its helping you functionally. if its not helping my suggestion is to consult a orthopaedic doctor and consider surgery as you are very young and you will be able to recover well post surgery. and taking physiotherapy prior wont be a waste because if by chance it doesnt help you will be fit enough to sustain surgery and your rehabilitation will be accelerated post it.

I think you should go for surgery if it is a full thickness ACL tear. Longer the wait, it will damage your other parts of the knee.
Next Steps
Consult physiotherapist to learn knee strengthening exercises in the meantime as you will be needing them after surgery also.

If you are not interested in sports, then these kind of tear can be quite efficiently. Consult with a physiotherapist who have orthopaedic experience.

If recovery is defined as pain relief in routine daily activities ( not involving vigorous activities) then yes. If recovery involves return to sports, running , jumping, cutting then no.
