Title: Re: Which is likely to heal faster, a bone injury or a cartilage injury? Why? Post by: doseofmegan on Jun 8, 2013 Bone injuries heal faster than cartilage injuries.
"Because of the lack of blood supply to cartilage, (a new technique to hasten healing of injuries is to introduce fresh blood flow into the area) whereas the marrow in bones actually produce red blood cells, and bones are actually a honeycomb like structure, and they are constantly being taken apart, and rebuilt, microscopic bit by bit."

Post by: bio_man on Jun 8, 2013 Bone injuries heal relatively quickly because of the good nutrient supply by way of nearby blood vessels and the canaliculi, whereas cartilage is supplied nutrients via diffusion from the outside, a far slower process.
