ACL injury to the knee is easily amneable to surgical treatment, and that is the reason your doctor advised you so, but I would caution you against believing fully on the MRI report, you should have a clinical evaluation, and if there is instablity, you should probably go for surgery, as conservative management in this condition is rarely indicated.

No role of conservative management. Go for surgery.

Not all patients with ACL injury need surgery. It all depends on what the patient wants to do and what the symptoms are.
If you have symptoms of knee giving way or if you intend playing sports - then I would recommend ACL reconstruction ,
