Anterior cruciate ligament knee injury, what to do?

Scope vs Rehab: Your location indicates air force. For active individuals, most opt for arthroscopic surgery (scope). For very inactive people, can rehab intensively. Some orthopaedic surgeons start patients in physical therapy before surgery to work on range of motion. Acl tears will not heal on their own. In surgery, they will replace the ligament with a graft. Rehab is important afterwards also.
