Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

Usually MRI shows ACL tear with 94% accuracy.

If the MRI is done in acute trauma then the oedema may obscure the view and reduce the chances of seeing the tear properly.

That's why our is recommended to do MRI after few weeks of the trauma.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
