Twisting the knee is a common cause of overstretched or torn ligaments of the knee. The knee may give out suddenly when the ACL is torn and there may be a popping sound upon injury. Symptoms of a torn ACL include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and bruising.
Injuries occur to the ligaments when the knee is twisted beyond the jointâs normal range-of-motion, often as a result of a sports accident. Tendons are often injured when they are stretched and torn while running, jumping or from an impact to the front of the knee. Treating Serious Injuries to Tendons and Ligaments.
