Jacks healing response surgery

I completely severed my ACL playing in a basketball tournament. My O.S suggested the Healing response procedure since the tear was high on the ACL. Basically it is micro fracture surgery that will create a super blood clot via bone morrow. The idea behind this is to allow the ACL to heal itself.

I agreed to this procedure and am in day 2. I tried to find some information on the internet regarding this type of surgery. Unfortunately there is not much out there. Has anyone else had this type of procedure and was it successful?

I will continue to note my progress. Perhaps it might be useful information for anyone else considering this method
