Cartilage heals poorly due to its avascular nature, meaning it lacks a direct blood supply, which limits the delivery of essential nutrients and repair cells necessary for healing. Additionally, cartilage has a low cellularity, with fewer cells compared to other tissues, which further reduces its ability to regenerate. The dense extracellular matrix also hinders the movement of cells and nutrients, making the healing process slow and inefficient.

Do pain pills cause your skin or an open wound to heal poorly?

Only if they were taken in excessive amounts or for a long period of time. Narcotics can slow the metabolism, as well as organs (such as the lungs and respiratory system). But if they are taken only as directed, then there should be no problem. However, if the person is diabetic, that will cause wounds to heal poorly.


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 a torn meniscus of knee rarely heal?

The reason is because there is a poor vascular supply to the menisci. In order for tissues to heal they need a supply of nutrients and cells which help with the healing process. The nutrients serve as building blocks for new materials and certain cells clear necrotic debris while others assemble new material. The circulatory system supplies both these nutrients and healing cells. The meniscus, like most cartilage in the body, has a relatively poor supply of blood which explains why injuries to cartilage heal very poorly.
