Knee injuries.: Stretch well before exercise/ sports and don't take unnecessary risks and you may not develop ligamentous knee injuries.

Forever: Depends on what ligament and how badly damaged and how much trouble it causes ligament surgery is almost always elective so it can be done if and when the patient is ready.
