Hello and welcome to HCM.
Well, an ACL tear is easily seen on a MRI scan.
As you're an active sportsperson, a surgical treatment is definitely advisable.
Non-surgical treatment is an option, if you're willing to stop active sports, for next 3 months or more. Active movements of knee will be restricted.
In that case, you'll need knee braces and active progressive rehab.
If you've any other doubt, you may send it here, in my name.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
