What is a ligament tear in the knee How long do you need for it to heal from the day it was torn if there was a pop Is the best treatment to have it held in place tied together until the pop is gone?
If you have a tear in a ligament it is called a sprain. Sprains come in different degrees depending on how much is torn. A mild sprain can be treated with RICE (Rest Ice Compression and Elevation). If you heard a pop, then most likely you suffered a dislocation. That is more severe because it involves a forceful separation of a joint and more severe tearing of ligaments with possible damage to the joint capsule. I am not sure how you are keeping it tied together, but anytime there is a possibility of a dislocation or a break there is usually loss of function in the joint, or the nearest joint if it is a break. The best thing to do if you hear a pop, since it could be a dislocation or a break, is to get it x-rayed and checked out by a doctor.

Bones are tough but they can still break for many reasons. When a bone is broken, it is called a fracture and it can break in many different ways, like a complete fracture is when it is broken in two, or an open fracture where its sticking through your skin. Anyways, it takes time to heal depending what has happened, but it will heal in time.
What is the difference between a grade 2 sprain and a grade 1 sprain?
A grade 1 sprain is a mild injury where there is minimal stretching or tearing of ligaments. In contrast, a grade 2 sprain is a moderate injury involving partial tearing of ligaments, leading to more pain, swelling, and sometimes bruising. Grade 2 sprains typically take longer to heal and may require more intensive treatment.

In Sport what exactly is a high ankle sprain?
It's a sprain in the upper ligament of your ankle. These are usually much more painful and take longer to heal. (I had one about 2 months ago and they suck).

What colour is a broken foot?
A broken foot can either be a dark purple/blue, or just red and/or swollen depending on how severe the break is. If it's a fracture, that chances are there will be slight discoloration and swelling. Another (less likely) option is it's a compound fracture (where the entire bone is snapped in half). You are more likely to see severe internal bleeding and possible external. If this is the case, i suggest you go to the hospital ASAP.
