A member asked:
Does your knee become weaker or more injury prone if you've sprained it before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All tissue healing is poor compared to normal tissue. But, most tissue can recover to a point that function returns. Some tissues do not repair such as hyaline cartlidge.
