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.

This is a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. It is a significant ligament helping to connect the tibia bone in the lower leg to the femur in the thigh.

tearing your ACL is very painful and requires surgery to repair.
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.
ACL is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, which joins the upper and lower halves of the knee.
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.
