Joint injuries often heal very slowly due to the strain and load placed on them. Unlike soft tissue, they must repair themselves while in use.

Since the ligament was torn, the blood vessels in your ligament were also damaged. Cells are what heals injuries, and with less blood, it will take longer to heal.
Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?
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.

Why are joint injuries slow to heal?
We will start off understanding a sprain. A sprain is basically when you twist lets say your ankle to far and the ligaments are damaged by the excessive twisting of the joint. Ligaments consist of dense regular connective tissue. Dense regular connective tissue is made up of closely packed thick collagenous fibers. Thus when the dense regular connective tissues are damaged it just takes longer for them to heal because they are so densly packed together. Hope this helps! ^_^
