Completely Torn ACL

My daughter is a freshman in college and just tore her ACL. She has alot of muscle mass in her legs and is considering trying to play limited minutes with a brace. If she can stand the pain, can she play this season and have surgery afterwards without further damage to her knee?

    I would highly recommend she do no sports that require running, jumping or cutting with a complete ACL tear even with a brace. BUT, this is a better question to ask your doc.
