The only alternative to surgery is rigorous physiotherapy, lifestyle changes and leaving sport altogether.
That being said even if you don't go with the surgery, it may lead to early knee joint degeneration at a younger age which might require a total knee replacement at an earlier age.
Next Steps
See an orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination and further treatment.

What are the symptoms? If there is no locking, I think you can continue with conservative treatment.
