ACL Reconstruction: Acl tears do not heal on their own & having it replaced can help you maintain a healthy/ active lifestyle in the years to come. The acl is a major knee stabalizer, and can provide security to your knee that may prevent further damage to nearby tendons, ligaments, muscles, articular cartilage, meniscus, & bones when compared to a "loose knee".

Yes : The acl and PCL will not heal without surgery if they are complete tears. Partial tears respond to prolotherapy .Visit www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org for info.
