Tore my acl about 10 yrs ago.
Very painful.
Go to a&e and hopefully you wil get a referral to a surgeon if torn.
I have screws in my knee now and the thigh muscle supporting the ligament.

I did it also 12 years ago and have the screws in my right knee this time it was my left knee so I'm 90% sure its the same as feeling and jarring motion is the same thing. Strapped it up pumped myself with pain killers going docs tomorrow  |

If your knee swelled like a baloon, then odds are good it's gone  |

They'll need MRI for definitive confirmation. In all likelyhood you'll be put through conservative management first. |

"What exactly is an ACL..is it a willy
That would take some explanation from basketball!!
It’s anterior cruciate ligament"
I jumped up to get the ball as I came down I sort of twisted as I landed but my knee had other ideas and all I can say was it was like a spring in my leg snapping back after it gets twisted and I went down hard |

It happens. The orthopods will prefer to avoid surgery especially if you're not playing regular, competitive sport anymore. |

I've got a finger joint that can bend both ways from when I was at school and tried to block someone's slam dunk
I hope you have a smooth road to recovery OP  |

Competitive contact sport is bad for your health anyway 
Hope it recovers soon |

"Hopefully it won't be a torn acl wookie I hope not as I know all to well the recovery"
I've never had mine operated on. If there's no need to operate then they won't do it. Just physio and stabilising the knee by strengthening the muscles around it. |
