Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: A Loud “Pop”
Ligaments are made from strong materials, and it takes a lot to break them. As such, you can expect to notice when one has been torn, and in more ways than one. When it comes to a torn ACL, you can expect to hear a loud “popping” sound.
The sound is often loud enough to be clearly heard and not just by the patient but also by others around them. In addition to a popping sound, some people might also describe a popping sensation in the knee. It is important to let medical professionals know this information because it will help them to get to the root of the problem quickly.
