@ProFootballDoc how can ligaments heal? I didn't know that was possible.
ACL and MCL tear for JOE FLACCO @ravens
Surgery for ACL, usually let MCL heal on own.
Could be ready Week 1 2016.https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/668543331987648513 …

@PNW_Hawk thy actually form scar tissue, not the original ligament -
@jocsanddocs does the scar tissue act as a sort of ligament? Doesn't sound right... Maybe I'm wrong. -
@PNW_Hawk no that's right, the scar tissue remodels to try to replicate original ligament. Not always the same as original -
@jocsanddocs that's crazy!! -
@PNW_Hawk yep, some ligaments he's better than others and that has to do with blood flow. Example: PCL and MCL heal better than ACL
