Do torn ligaments in the knee ever heal on there own?

Depends: Depending on the degree of injury, mild ligament strains can heal with time. However, if they are torn, then typically these ligaments heal with more scar rather than ligament tissue.

No: May feel better with pt, once torn will not heal on their own, to see orthopedic surgeon.
