Best Answer

Joints can make noises for other reasons than torn ligaments, for example, you must have heard someone crack a knuckle at some time. That does not involve any injury, it's just a noise. If you heard a pop and also have pain and difficulty moving that particular joint, then you have reason to think that something is damaged.

Another answer:

When you hear a pop, it can mean a number of things. It can mean an arthritic adhesion broke. A number of people have arthritic adhesions in their thumbs. You can take a large group of people and hold their entire thumb in one hand. Then you can push the back of their hand so their thumb is underneath their palm. With a number of them, you will hear a loud pop.

Why does a pop can pop when opened?

In order to keep the pop carbonated (fizzy), there must be air pressure built up in the can. The pop or whoosh you hear when opening a can is that air pressure escaping.

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.
