I don't have an answer for you except listen to the surgeon.
It is best for the knee to fix it. That may or may not be best for the pup in all cases though. I'd be fixing it in a young dog.
in an older, unhealthy, small, inactive dog I'd think long ad hard about a partial tear. Let your boarded surgeon weigh the options.
