For a partial ACL tear in the mid-substance, non-surgical treatment often involves physical therapy, activity modification, and potentially a brace. The goal is to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve stability, potentially preventing long-term issues. While a partial tear can be managed non-surgically, it's crucial to understand that some individuals may still experience long-term issues like instability or other complications.
