As per the reports, there is minimal tear of ACL and Medial Meniscus..
How is your pain at present.
Usually grade 1 tear doesnt require surgery..
What complaints do you have currently. If the symptoms are severe, you may require surgery in future..
Next Steps
I would suggest you to use Knee support like Hinge Knee Brace for now.. You can take analgesic tablet for pain, start physiotherapy gradually..

U have ACL and meniscal partial tear, at times in surgery we find it complete, so advice arthroscopy surgery for evaluation and treatment if needed ACL reconstruction.
Negligence may cause early arthritis of knee.
Conservative is good option when you have no symptoms
Next Steps
Visit arthroscopic surgeon
