Brief Answer:
Yes, it can cause problems in future

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Complete ligament tear does not heal on its own without surgery. It does pose problems to the knee joint in future.

It can cause pain during specific movement in the knee joint.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
