Hello,
Going by the allopathic medicine your brother need to understand go a ACL reconstruction surgery followed by physiotherapy rehab.It will take about 3 weeks to return to moderate level to physical activity and after 6weeks he can resume all activities.
As for puttur kattu there is no evidence based research available for the repair of ACl ligament (it heals bone but not ligament)
Hope this clears your doubt
Thank you
