At 32, you should definately go for surgery as menisci will trouble.
Although you can still try quadriceps exercises(static) and ice pack application with a knee brace on for 3-4 weeks to allow for ACL and meniscus to heal. Following which you can opt for surgery if you have pain or locking.

The meniscal tear requires emergent intervention if the knee is locked in certain position/you cannot fully straighten the knee.
