Objective To introduce the research advance of the ligament injury and ligament healing.Methods Recent original articlesrelated to such aspects of ligament were reviewed extensively.Results The ligament properties would be influenced when the situations of the biochemistry and biomechanics had changed. Injuries to ligaments induce a healing response that is characterized by scar formation. Graft could not recovery the ultrastructure, anatomy and biomechanics of the normal ligament.Conclusion The healing ligament is weaker than normal one, and the graft could not reconstruct normal ligament at present.
