The part of the body that generally heals the slowest is the cartilage, as it has a limited blood supply. This means that injuries to cartilage can take longer to heal compared to other tissues in the body. Additionally, cartilage has a lower cell turnover rate, further contributing to its slow healing process.
Lotsa ice
Cartilage is considered the slowest healing tissue of the human body due to its limited blood supply, which inhibits the delivery of nutrients and immune cells necessary for healing. Cartilage injuries often take a long time to heal and may require surgical intervention.
Slow healing gives more time and allows germs to enter into the body at which the wound is located.
The blood supply to them is slow
In order to increase blood flow to cartilage and assist in the healing process, clean cartilage with salt water twice a day. Another solution would be to fill a small cup with a salt water mixture and hold it up to the cartilage for 5 minutes twice daily.
Very little blood circulation

Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
it has no direct blood supply that cause a slow healing rate^^
