I may be wrong, but for some reason I thought even a partially torn ACL required reconstructive surgery. I didn't think the ACL would heal itself.
Can anyone clarify?

Surgical treatment is usually advised in dealing with combined injuries (ACL tears in combination with other injuries in the knee). However, deciding against surgery is reasonable for select patients. Nonsurgical management of isolated ACL tears is likely to be successful or may be indicated in patients:
-With partial tears and no instability symptoms39
-With complete tears and no symptoms of knee instability during low-demand sports who are willing to give up high-demand sports
-Who do light manual work or live sedentary lifestyles
-Whose growth plates are still open (children)

Didn't Garrison Hearst put up like 1400 at UGA with a partial ACL tear? I seem to remember something like that, but I can't remember how long or when exactly he played with that tear.
