Popping Sensation In Distal MCL When Doing Squats. Suggestions?

I am a special operations combat medic. I have a Pt. who complains of a popping sensation in the area of the L distal MCL when doing squats . It is my understanding that this is not a common symptom of a tear or a sprain . do you have any suggestions?

If it is only sound and there is no pain then you should not be worried about this. If your pain is increasing then get a ultrasound to check which structure is causing problem. According to that we can plan further management. For mild pain you can take Brufen tablet and hot water fomentation.
