Hi, Thanks for using HCM
Tear in ligament needs to be corrected surgically, as tear in ligament results in instability to joint, so in future there are possibilities of further injury to joint if not reconstruction done.
Now a days arthroscopic surgeries are available which needs rest for shorter duration and smaller incision and early recovery. so you can discuss with your doctor and get reconstruction done.
Hope this helps you.
