Hello,
Arthroscopic repair will be the treatment of choice for ACL injury. As you are young, surgical repair will be the best, non surgical treatment like immobilization and splinting have got poor results and they are usually done in old aged individuals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
