Dear lybrate-user. Unfortunately for a complete recovery he will have to undergo surgery. Acl also known as anterior cruciate ligament of the knee is a cord like structure in the knee that joins the thigh bone and the leg bone together. And if it is torn then it has to be sewed back. Without surgery he maintaining get walk but later complications like restricted movement and osteoarthritis can be very disabling. Regards.
