Hello there,,,well usually partial thickness tear involving ACL respond very well to rehabilition without surgery,,,,however your report suggests a full thickness tear,,,,the problem in this scenario is you may not get a lot of pain but the stability of your knee joint is affected....the knee joint may suddenly give way...n that can cause other major problems.
Next Steps
a small arthroscopic surgical repair of ACL is required its not a major surgery,,,you are likely to be discharged in 3 days from hospital.
Health Tips
Till you visit an orthopaedic surgeon wear a enclosed knee cap for stability of your knee.
regards & take care.
