Depends: In general it leads to instability of the knee when completely torn and should be repaired or braced to avoid furthervinjury to other structures in her knee. If only the posterior bundle is injured, however, the knee remains stable. The most important factor is her age. If she is past maturity above applies, otherwise she may respond to primary repair.
