It isn't so much broken, as muscle is unlike bone and does not fracture cleanly. It will not heal completely, when damaged, no matter how well it is set. Bone calcifies to mend itself, and adds new minerals and elements to make it stronger yet. Muscle, however, turns to weaker ends that lack its own elasticity. It mends itself with collagen, and becomes more prone to injury.
