High grade partial tear is suggesting that ligament strength is likely to be subnormal leading to episodes of instability. This leads to more long term damage . U should strengthen ur hamstring muscles and undergo surgery if u have episodes of instability and or want to live an active lifestyle involving sports

Partial Acl with no instability symptoms, do try physiotherapy with knee brace.. Do not repeat MRI , as the pic not gonna change. Surgical intervention needed when there are instability symptoms . Hope this helps. Regards
