Hello
I have studied your case.
If there is complete Acl tear arthroscopic repair will help.
complete tear can be confirmed by clinical examination.
If you are active physically then acl repair will help you.
Acl may heal with out operation also,but it may take longer time and may heal partially.
You should wait for surgery for 3weeks to do pre operative physiotherapy and allow edema to heal.
