For completeness, same story with my ACL. It was almost torn through but was still in place. My surgeon advised me to get hench legs and only get it repaired if it finally snaps. Three years on, although after a fuck ton of strength training, I can barely remember which knee is the bad one.
I remember him saying that if needed, he could fix my knee, but you're always better off with part of your own knee than one he can make. If that makes sense.
I guess the key thing is that I wasn't in significant pain for long. I'd have been banging on his door for surgery if things weren't going the right way after a few months
