If you have a torn ACL it will not be healed by itself. You need to have surgery but you can wear braces and go to physical therapy to strengthen it. But usually surgery is the best option in rebuilding the torn ligament.

An ACL tear is diagnosed by an physical exam at first. Then the doctor may use other methods such as MRI's, X-rays, and ultrasounds to determine the seriousness of the injury. There will be swelling and tenderness and will be easily noticeable in comparison to the uninjured knee.

An ACL tear or anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most common knee injuries. It's most common in people playing sports that have a large amount of strain on the knees. People who have torn their ACL usually can get full function in their knee with surgery.
