It would be better if you can provide more details of your symptoms. However, it is not a complete tear and hence you shoul try physiotherapy too first. Meet your orthopedic surgeon and discuss the same. Even if you go for surgery, physiotherapy before and after the surgery shall help you recover much faster.
