Depends: Certainly it doesn't need immediate surgery. Would recommend rehab and if instability is present then surgery could be an option but depending on the extent of the injury you may not need surgery.

ACL deficiency : Although some patients do well, this is rare. Without acl reconstruction you can expect instability particularly with decending stairs or turning quickly from side to side. Long term acl deficiency ultimately will end up with severe osteoarthritis in 15-20 years. In the interim, meniscus tears (cartilage"shock absorbers" in the knee) are more likely.
