Will a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) heal itself over time?

Question: 4 months ago, I took a hit from my brother in a roller hockey game. So I had to go to an orthopedic surgeon to get MRI's on my knee. The PCL in my left need is only partially torn.

I can walk and run normally, but I know that something still doesn't feel right. I was just wondering if it will heal on its own, or if I must get surgery? I understand that the ligament isn't vascular, and won't fully heal, but is there even a chance that my leg muscles can compensate for this injury in any way?

Basically no more hockey or gymnastics for me.

Answers:
It will heal, but it will never be 100% again unless you have surgery. I torn mine too several years ago but never had it fixed and doing stairs sometimes hurts it as well as snowboarding. Strengthening your leg muscles will help to compensate and will help prevent hurting it further.

Other Answers:
So. Let me see if I have this straight. You went to an orthopedic surgeon, and I think we can assume such a person is qualified to give you your answer. And you're asking US?

Helllooooo!
