Cartilage heals poorly and in many instances does not heal or recover at all after a severe injury Why not?

Cartliage take over a year to heal. When I got mine done it took about a year and a half to heal. This is because your cartilage doesn't produce it's own blood. So when you get it pierced it has to wait to get blood and oxygen from the rest of the body. So this of course is why it takes such a long time to heal

Why are sprains and cartilage injuries a particular problem?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
The smooth flexible layer of tissue covering the ends of bone is?
Hyaline cartilage is a type of tissue found at the ends of some bones.It is an amorphous (chondroitin and glucosamine) matrix that surrounds cells that are called chondrocytes (within lacunae).It acts as a support and as a cushion. It has little blood supply and because of that it heals poorly.

Why might an injury to a bone heal faster when compared to muscle or nerve cell?
Your bones are designed for getting fractured. They unite readily, specially in case of children. Muscles also heal fast when stitched well. You are unfortunate in that the nerve cells heal poorly or do not heal at all. But then the nerve damage is rather uncommon in clinical practice, except in few instances.
What tissue has no direct blood supply?
Tough to answer when the question is phrased so poorly, but a lot of tendons and ligaments have poor blood flow since they are avascular. So, tendons and ligaments.
