When you hear a pop does that mean tore ligament?

A popping sound does not necessarily indicate a torn ligament. While a popping or snapping sensation can sometimes be associated with a ligament injury, it can also occur due to various other reasons such as muscle spasms, joint dislocations, or tendon injuries. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation to determine the exact cause of the sound and the appropriate treatment. Self-diagnosis based solely on sound can be misleading. A thorough examination, imaging tests, and consultation with a medical expert will provide the most accurate diagnosis.
