Abstract
A 20-year-old man who was playing recreational football caught a pass and turned to his left with his left foot planted, just as he was tackled from the right side. He heard a popping sound and felt immediate pain in his left knee. The patient developed swelling within 2 hours and was unable to walk because of pain, instability, and stiffness in his left knee. He reported to the emergency department, where routine x-rays were obtained (figure 1).
