Your area has some of the best levels of ferret vets in the nation.
Here are websites from just one of them:
http://www.bradleyhills.com/ and http://www.ferretdoctor.com
ACL surgery in humans is tricky and prone to failure according to
what one side of the family was told last year about an ex-football
player, but I didn't check into it at all myself so that is
second-hand without verifying.
I'd go to a ferret vet for an opinion.
Here are some ways to find ferret vets:

http://www.ferretcentral.org
http://www.thepetproject.com/starferrets.html
Others who may be in California can also try these:

DO remember to find out what your vet does for emergency situations!
You've got to be ready to jump fast for some things.
