Answers
Answer:
Ligament injuries in the knee -- such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) -- can put you on the sidelines -- fast. They hurt a lot and may limit what you can do.
But more often than not, a comeback may still be possible. Treatment is more successful than it once was.

Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect the bones in your body. There are four ligaments in the knee that are prone to injury:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament. It connects the thigh bone to the shin bone.
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) also links the thigh bone to the shin bone in the knee. (It’s rarely injured except in car accidents).
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) connects the thigh bone to the fibula, the smaller bone of the lower leg on the outer side of the knee.
Medial collateral ligament (MCL) links the thigh bone to the shin bone on the inside of the knee.
What Does a Knee Ligament Injury Feel Like?
You may have:
Pain, often sudden and severe
A loud pop or snap during the injury
Swelling within the first 24 hours after the injury
A feeling of looseness in the joint
Inability to put weight on the joint without pain, or any weight at all
These injuries need medical attention. In some cases, as with ACL tears, you may need surgery so that your knee will be stable and won’t give out when you twist or pivot.
Diagnosis
Your doctor will give you a physical exam. If your knee is very tense and swollen with blood, your doctor may use a needle to drain it. You may need X-rays to make sure you don’t have a broken bone, as well as an MRI to check on any ligament injuries.
Treatment
A mild to moderate knee ligament injury may heal on its own, in time. To speed the healing, you can:
Rest the knee. Avoid putting much weight on your knee if it's painful to do so. You may need to use crutches for a time.
