So, at the risk of continuing to add to lore, can you speculate on
the behaviour of scar tissue adjacent to poorly perfused tissue (long
half time).  I'm particularly interested in the knee joint tissues,
which are poorly vascularized to begin with, and some of the slowest
tissues in the body.

Thanks for the thoughts,
Scott.
