Hi,
Torn ACLs typically don’t heal on their own. They need to be surgically reconstructed if in fact he wants to play a sport that involves a lot of cutting and change of direction. It also requires a lot of physical therapy to rehab the knee. Typically, recovery time is between 6-9 months, sometimes longer. If he doesn’t want to play that type of sport surgery isn’t necessary, but still a lot of physical therapy should be done to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee. You are welcome to see me in clinic or via telemedicine.
Hope this helps!
