A knee sprain is a common injury following trauma, a sudden movement, or a sharp twist. It can cause pain, swelling, and sometimes knee instability, the severity of which varies depending on the extent of ligament damage. Some sprains that appear minor may conceal more serious injuries. A prompt medical evaluation can determine the severity and prevent complications.

Knee instability is a common consequence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, often felt as a knee that gives way. Identifying instability helps prevent secondary injuries and preserve knee function in the long term.
