Unfortunately, many NFL players know this one. It's the anterior cruciate ligament , and is the most frequent injury during sports (or work) when a sudden sideways (lateral) shock occurs to the knee causing a tear, rupture or separation of the ligament from the bone.
No, its considered an ACL tear.
ACL stands for Anterior Cruciate Ligament
An ACL tear is typically considered worse than an MCL tear because the ACL is a crucial ligament for knee stability. An ACL tear often requires surgery to repair and has a longer recovery time compared to an MCL tear, which may heal with conservative treatments like rest and physical therapy.

The problem is that with an acl tear, you are able to walk in a straight line fairly easily; the anterior cruciate ligament is important in lateral, or side to side movement.
The ACL repair may have been damaged or torn. It may also be a meniscus tear. When you tear your meniscus, the knee seems to pop.
Yes... It is very painful! When I tore my ACL it was an unbearable pain, and it felt like it was burning really bad. If you tore yours then the best of luck to you!
Your knee has four ligaments that are used for stabilization the ACL, LCL, PCL and MCL. Usually the ACL is the worst ligament to tear because it provides the most stability out of the four ligaments.
