Hi... We need to clinically evaluate your knee to ascertain the degree of tear...if it is a compleate tear then I would suggest you to meet an arthroscopic surgeon...to repair the ligaments... With a unstable knee it is not advisable to run and do explosive activities... Hope this is helpful for you.. Kindly revert back incase you need any further clarification....
