Knee pop: Four ligaments stabilize the knee: anterior cruciate (ACL,) posterior cruciate (PCL,) medial collateral (MCL,) and the lateral collateral (LCL.) Impact injury or abrupt tear in any of these ligaments may cause the knee to pop, depending on the circumstances of the injury. Meniscal (acts as cushion) injury, illiotibial band, hamstring injury. Description suggests MCL injury-See your orthopedist-

Orthopedic surgeon: Persistent knee pain and swelling following a significant knee injury almost always indicates internal knee derangement like a torn cartilage. Such conditions are best evaluated and treated by an orthopedic surgeon. Appropriate studies and treatment options will be ordered.
