Hello
The MRI resul clearly shows the need for arthroscopic or open repair of ACL and aspiration of effusion and protective knee brace for 6 weeks. Sooner it is undertaken, earlier the rehabilitation and healing, possibly playing may become possible.Full thickness ACL tear has no other option but a repair.Consult an arthroscopic Knee surgeon if it is possible without open surgery
