They can repair themselves but it's a slow process and they need to be treated carefully.

It depends on the ligament but there are certain operations that can help.

They don't have a great blood supply so it slows the healing.

Depends on how extensive the damage is. You'd have to discuss with your orthopedic specialist, sometimes they don't know the full extent of repair needed until they look at the area either by laporoscope or open surgery.

They can be repaired. But it depends when you ruptured them and how bad they are
