Why can’t all injuries heal conpletely?
I hear all the time about athletes who do something wrong at the gym and could never work out again. Why doesn’t their body heal like normal?
In: Biology
To add to what others have mentioned, sometimes broken bones do not heal perfectly. I got in a motorcycle accident in my early 20’s and broke my arm super close the shoulder socket; unfortunately it did not align perfectly as the bones were healing and now I don’t have full range of motion in that arm.
In my case it doesn’t really impact my day-to-day life in a substantial way, but if it were an athlete who did any sort of throwing in their sport, it could be a career ending issue.
