The ACL has little, if any, ability to heal itself, and if it's torn it now leaves you with a functional disability. You can't run, jump or cut.
More Quotes from Dr. Colosimo:
You've damaged the nerves and arteries around the joint. They can't function normally when the knee is filled with fluid.Dr. Colosimo

Dr. Colosimo
You have to re-educate that leg as to its muscle-firing patterns, the nerve pathways, so you can walk and run again.
