Are ligaments avascular?
Ligaments have a limited blood supply compared to other tissues, which makes them technically avascular but not completely devoid of blood vessels. This limited blood supply affects their healing capacity and makes them vulnerable to injuries.
Why do ligaments and tendons recover slowly if injured?
Ligaments are said to be hypovascular structures, which in plain English means they do not receive much blood. The slow healing of ligaments is thought to be secondary to this characteristic. In the words of former pro football player and later actor Alex Karras: "Ligaments don't heal". That is a bit of an overstatement - but not much.
Which heals better ligaments or tendons?
Both tendons and Ligaments heal at extremely slow rates because these connective tissues are avascular (lack of blood supply). Whereas other connective tissues such as bone heal at a MUCH higher rate because of high vascularity.
