ACL tear can be cured by physiotherapy but as you said it's complete tear than you have to go for surgery for repairing. And simultaneously pre and post operative physiotherapy is must to avoid any restricted movement and deformity. Kindly go for MRI to rule out the grade of tear so that once the grade is confirmed we can make sure whether tear can be cured by physio or not.
