A ligament difficult to heal.
00:03
So there are several reasons for the ligament and tendon that they are hard to heal.
00:13
So first of all, tendon ligament are connected tissue.
00:29
So due to their unique structures and features, it is hard to heal for several reasons.
00:40
First of all, that the ligament usually are ligament or tendon, they usually have limited blood supply compared to other tissue in the body.
00:52
And the blood carry oxygen and nutrients.
00:55
So these are the essential for healing process.
00:59
Now, when you have a reduced blood flow due to the nature of the tissue, this will slow down the recovery.
01:07
So let me write down the first reason, limited blood supply.
01:19
And again, the amount of blood supply is determined by the nature of connective tissue.
01:25
It has limited blood supply, which actually cause reduced rate of recovery.
01:34
Again, because all the nutrients are factors, they are delivered by blood.
01:39
When these tissue have limited blood flow, well, the lower rate of recovery.
01:45
So the second main reason that it has a slow recovery is the low metabolic activity.
01:54
So this again, associated with limited blood flow.
02:12
So tendons are ligament, they have relatively low metabolic activity.
02:17
So which means that the cell are not as active as other tissues.
02:23
So they may have a slower cell division and cell growth so that it make the injury repair a little slower.
02:47
And the cell division and cell growth are essential for injury recovery...
