So I am going to try to keep him off of his leg and probably schedule a surgery.

I am going to see if they can fix the ligament and the knee at the same time. Maybe it will save money and I wont have to put him through surgery twice.
Personally, I would not wait...what could you gain from waiting? A tear is a tear is a tear and the sooner repaired the better. Yes, they do repair the knee at the same time! That is standard.
Good luck and keep us posted.
