No.
Believe in your first MRI and clinical presentation.
If you have pain or instability then, you might need ACL reconstruction.
Health Tips
You can try taking rest for 3-4 weeks and see if this cures you.
If you don't get relief, then surgery will surely help you.

Treatment depends on physical examination. If instability is there in the knee, the surgery is absolutely necessary.
