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.

What is the medical term meaning a simple overstretch or tear of a muscle or tendon?
A sprain is an overstretched or torn ligament. A stretched ligament will remain stretched. It happens when undue tension is placed upon the ligament. A ligament can stretch to only about 6% of its length before it snaps. A partially torn ligament will slowly repair itself. The process is slow because the ligaments are poorly vascularized. When a ligament is completely torn, it requires surgical intervention. If left untreated, an inflammation of the surrounding joint will break down surrounding tissue and turn the injured ligament into 'mush'. It is a very difficult procedure. An important ligament that is severely damaged must be removed and replaced with a graft or a substitute ligament. ( ex: tendon from a muscle or woven collage bands can be stapled to the articulating bones)
Do wraps help heal ligaments?
They don't really HEAL the ligament but they will help immobilize the use of the ligament. The wrap can help the person using it to feel better. The wrap however should never be used with creams like Icy Hot, Ben Gay or any other product like that because you can burn the skin. You can use those products on the ligament area by themselves with the skin well aired. They can offer pain relief. The best thing to do to heal the ligament is to rest it a lot and use it little until it heals. Weight bearing on a leg causes the healing to be slow.
