Once ACL is torn, it doesn't heal and surgery is the only option. Although if you have a sedentary life style and you r not into running or any other outdoor sport and your knees are not bothering u, you can postpone the surgery for later. Withoit surgery, there is always a possibility of knee instability while walking up or down the stairs and pain can bother you sometimes, now and then.
