While some mild ACL tears might heal with bracing and rehabilitation, complete ACL tears typically require surgical reconstruction for optimal recovery, especially if you are an athlete or want to return to a high level of physical activity. A torn ACL does not heal on its own, and delaying surgery can lead to further knee damage.
