    Most cruciate ligament injuries are a sudden event. There may be an audible snap or popping sound as the injury occurs, followed by the leg buckling when trying to stand on it. The player usually has to come off the field of play. The injury is frequently followed by rapid swelling over the next 24 hours. These symptoms mean that you should get the knee seen and probably have an MRI. The symptoms of a cruciate ligament injury may sometimes resemble other conditions or medical problems.
