knee swelling upon explosive exercise

I am ten years post right knee ACL reconstruction. When I run 4 miles, several times a week, I have absolutely no knee problems. However, when I do a set of sprints at full speed, my knee swells and stiffens badly and takes 48 hours to return to normal. Can I possibly rehab my knee to overcome this problem ? I don't want to retire from "fast-twitch" exercise.
