This is a judgement call, as depends upon knee stability and likelihood of progressive healing associated with conservative therapy. The big issue is the potential development of "wear and tear arthritic degeneration" (chondromalacia). At your age, 21 yrs, you have potential for worsening over the years. Obtain at least 2 orthopedic surgical consultations and decide.
