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.
