Question
PartA Your patent doesnt understand why it takes so long for his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear to heal. What would be your best explanation to him? "Any injury in the knee region takes longer to heal because it is so mobile. "Ligaments like the ACL don't have a good blood supply and therefore take much longer to heal than tiosuos or glands with more blood vessels." The ACL is a large ligament, and it takes longer to heal than smaller ones "The ACL is in your knee, and it takes longer for the nutrients to get there." G·Explanation / Answer
Answer: Option B is correct.
Explanation:
Damaged organs/tissues in the body are repaired with the help of blood that transports repair material to the damaged regions.
The ACL has a poor vascular connectivity and it is further hindered by the presence of fibrocartilage. So, it takes approximately six to nine months for the repair and normal functioning of an ACL tear.
