Majority of people recover from acl tears within 6 to 9 months. Acl tears generally occur to people who play sports like football, volleyball, basketball, etc, and also to people who are aggressively engaged in physical activity. Most athletes require surgery as it is important for them to get back to normal position as they will again require sharp movements while playing sports.
