Sorry to hear about the injury blueone...
I basically destroyed my ACL in highschool, got it repaired by using a piece of my patella tendon and it took a full year to recover...
In hindsight I would have chosen to either use a graph from a cadaver or a piece from my own hamstring. My patella tendon to this day is really tender, plus physically your body is so much better at recovering from a muscle injury than a tendon or ligament.
Depending on your timing for the Japan trip, you might be able to hold off on the surgery. You can focus on strengthening your leg muscles because when you do get the surgery it will atrophy. You can still function and even do sports and physical activity with no acl. Granted you run the risk of popping your knee out of place again.
I've personally lost count on how many times it's popped on me... but that's because I need an new surgery. I still surf, skate, snowboard, martial arts... etc...
good luck blue.
