Likely: "it depends" on how well/fast you heal, how much abuse you put it through while "not playing" for the next two months, how much you weigh, and other factors. Should be fine, but will have to see in 2 months--might take longer.

Depends: Not all acls need to be fixed. It depends on patient demands and instability. If the knee wobbles, it should be fixed. If no wobbles during everyday activities and you are willing to give up twisting and cutting sports you may be ok. If you want to play basketball, soccer, gymnastics, or other twisting and cutting sport, you will probable wobble during play and need to be fixed.
