The MRI is suggestive of ACL tear along with medial and lateral Meniscal injuries. ACL reconstruction along with meniscal repair/debridement are required. This being said, whether to undergo surgery or not purely depends on the clinical examination and symptoms. MRI films give us a better picture.
Next Steps
Go for the Surgery

Grade 3 tear of ACL will require surgical reconstruction of the ligament.. There is also tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus.. That also needs assessment intraoperatively and some procedure may be required for that as well..
Next Steps
You should visit a nearby hospital and plan the procedure after consultation with the surgeon.
Health Tips
Use Long Knee Brace for support. Avoid excessive bending of knee joint..
