When a bone or ligament is broken/torn?


Question:
Is it stronger than before when it finally heals?

Answers:
No, when it finally heals that area will be weaker than that same spot on the other side. You can strengthen it through physical therapy and exercise, but it will never be back 100% to what it was before the injury, it can come pretty close though.

Hope this helps. :-)
Bone, yes, because more calcium is deposited where the break occured. Not by much, but ever so slightly.
no, when either of these are broken or torn the blood vessles and nerves around the two are destroyed so usually after healing the injury may develop into a long-lasting and recurrent bone or ligament dificiency meaning after it heals if could never be as stong as before. thats why after one of these injuries people usually begin treatment with a physical rehabilitation program. Rehabilitation exercises build strength and flexibility in the muscles helping you to return to normal activitis, though if injured again the damages might be fatal :(
NO ligaments don't regenerate them selfs like bones.
so unfortunatly ur logaments will be weaker this is because scar tissue forms and that is not as elastic and ur ligaments. That is why if u completly tear the ligament surgery is usually done to repair it to lomit scar tissue formation.
