Best Answer

When you tear or injure your Anterior Cruciate Ligament,you will hear a sudden popping sound and there will be a moderate to severe pain, swelling and instability of the knee feeling kind of like "wobbly." Basically, knee brace and immobilization of the affected knee is necessary. Otherwise, continued activity on a knee with Anterior Cruciate Ligmant Injury can result into devastating consequences such as massive cartilage damage, leading to a high-risk of developing Osteoarthritis in later life.

One of the best ways to tell is if you jump off something (doesn't have to be high). What happened to me was that my knee went out of place then right back into place. But to know for sure you need to get an MRI.
