You have complete tear of your ACL..
Interstitial means substance of the ligament is torn..
The decision for surgery depends on your symptoms and your requirements with the affected knee..
PRP may or may not heal a torn ligament..we do not have sufficient evidence to prove it..But a complete tear like yours may not heal with it..

Dear,
Only 1/3 patient with ACL tear requires Surgery.
Get yourself examined to decide whether Surgery needed or not.
Next Steps
Do Hot water fomentation along with Quadriceps strengthening exercises.
Use Knee cap support while ambulating.
