Sports injuries may cause the separation of a ligament from the bone, torn cartilage, or a broken bone. Given your knowledge of these connective tissues, which will regenerate the quickest?

Answer 1

A broken bone will regenerate the quickest out of the listed three connective tissue sport injuries. Cartilage tissue does not have a blood supply, which causes it to be a slow healing tissue. Ligaments generally have a limited blood supply, but are not avascular like cartilage, meaning that ligament tears will heal faster than cartilage. Bones possess their own blood supply, allowing them to heal the fastest out of three connective tissue types in consideration.
