Par for partial AC l injury usually a conservative trial should be given for at least 6 weeks and periodically it should be clinically assessed if there is significant laxity then it can be decided to go for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction

It depends on whether you have developed instability due to ACL insufficiency.
If yes then you may need ACL reconstruction.
But you can always do physiotherapy session before deciding for surgery.
