A member asked:
I tore my mcl a year ago and the other day while exiting a vehicle my knee popped out and back into place. could i have torn it again?

Yes: I suspect you actually have more than just a mcl tear. I bet you have an associated acl incompetence, likely related to your original injury that was diagnoses as an isolated mcl tear. If your knee felt like it came at a place just getting out of a car, this describes functional instability which is more commonly seen with acl combined injuries. The acl and mcl are commonly injured together.
