I'm fairly certain that you can't have "partial tear ACL surgery". It's either full ACL reconstruction, which involves taking a donor tendon and fully replacing the anterior crucient ligament that was torn. The donor ligament is obtained from either a cadaver or from your own body (hamstring). I had the latter procedure done in 2010.
OR you don't have ACL surgery at all because a partially torn ACL still works.
To be running and cutting on a knee that had ACL surgery just 3 months ago is astounding to me.

You're mostly correct on the ACL reconstruction; the lone alternative you missed was using the patients own patella tendon as a graft. What they do is cut the middle out of the patella and then sew that 'hole' up and use what they cut out as a graft....that's how they did mine.
As far as a partial tear of the ACL they may be able to just sew it up and then rehab it......I'm not certain, this is a guess.
Agree that 3 months is damn fast.
