The patella tendon harvest for an ACL reconstruction involves the patella (kneecap) and the tibia (shin bone). The central portion of the patella tendon, which connects the patella to the tibia, is typically harvested for use in ACL reconstruction surgery.
Some injuries, such as a sprained ankle, heal faster when the person continues to exercise. I do not know if this is the case with a torn ACL, but a doctor may be able to help. Also, a trainer at a fitness center may be able to set you up with exercises that fit your needs.
If it is torn, it does not heal itself. You need surgery.
your leg needs time to heal and that its getting use to the fact that its moving and the acl is a main part of your movement in the fact that its in the knee area where the most movement happens
It is not recommended to squat with a torn ACL as it can worsen the injury and cause further damage to the knee. It is important to seek medical advice and follow a proper rehabilitation plan to allow the ACL to heal properly before attempting any strenuous activities like squatting.

Yes, Jerry Rice sustained an ACL injury, in 1998. He returned the same season, only 3 and a half months later, shocking the sporting world. However, 11 plays into his comeback, he fractured his patella (kneecap), ending his comeback. Most experts say the ACL injury is a 6 months + injury, so when he came back in half the time, everyone was shocked. There are rumours that he was facing a lot of pressure from the 49ers organization to hurry back.
I've had two acl surgeries and am about to have a third. I wouldn't recommend the cadaver reconstruction- too much chance of rejection, longer recovery, and more likely to re-injure. My recommendation would be your hamstring. That's what I did last time and the surgery went great- I had a fast recovery and less pain than my first surgery.
