Dear,
Basic function of ant. Cruciate ligament is to make knee stable and prevent anterior dislocation.
As per the standard norms sport activities are strictly contraindicated.
It will damage ur knee structure and will make it vulnerable for frequent dislocation.
Surgery is a definite treatment and it wil only help
U may feel Better for awhile after running bt aactually ur damaging ur knee more.
Thanks
Wish a healthy recovery.
