What is partial thickness linear intrasubstance tear of the central to distal ACL fibers but without frank rupture mean?

It means you strained your ACL, but most likely not enough to make your knee unstable. "Frank rupture" means the ligament is torn in half and isn't holding your tibia (lower leg bone) in stable relationship to your femoral condyles (upper leg bone) - that would make the knee wobbly and it would give out on you easily.
This "strain" may still be associated with a meniscus tear(s) or another ligament like the MCL could be torn too. You'll be needing a brace for 6-8 weeks and the best treatment would be early physical therapy - preferably in a pool environment for the first 3-4 weeks to let things heal without the stresses of full weight-bearing.
That ACL injury will mean it will be weak (more prone to injury) for 3-4 months, so take it a bit easy.
Best wishes,
Dr Dan Bullock (Ortho)
