Hello,

If the ligaments are torn completely than a reconstruction of the same will be needed based on the MRI scan. Due to immobilization of the knee, there will be a reduced range of motion of the knee and needs to achieve the complete range of motion with the help of the CPM machine or the Physiotherapist.

He can fly anywhere he wishes to without any much trouble but then as you mentioned that all ligaments are torn than I will advise to take an MRI and see what ligaments can be repaired or needs surgery to repair. Once his ROM is full and enough strength he can fly without much pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
