Torn anterior cruciate ligament

I am a 24 year old male and just tore my anterior cruciate ligament. I am not an active sportsperson. What is the treatment?

In general, for active sports people, the treatment for torn ACL is reconstructive surgery, followed by intense rehabilitation. Unfortunately, the orthopedic surgeons regularly push everyone for surgery- chiefly for financial gain. 

Now the thinking is that for non sports people with partial tears, conservative therapy can work just as well. Surgery is always an option if this fails to heal the ACL. 

My advice is to enroll for physical therapy for at least 6-12 weeks. Wear a knee brace to keep your knee stable. While surgery has it benefits like a more stable knee right away, it is more expensive and the overall results are not that different from conservative therapy. To learn what exercise to do at home, just go online and search for physical therapy for torn ACL. Good luck.
