Torn ACLs are one of the most common knee injuries .  Often a pop sound with severe pain followed by intense swelling is the symptoms of a torn ACL . An ACL tear or sprain occurs with an unnatural or unexpected change in direction or pivot against a locked knee .

Often people are confused between the regular sprain and a high torn ligament because both of them result in swelling leaving you unable to move without severe pain.
