Can you break the cartilage outside your ear?

Is it possible to break the cartilage in your ear from an impact?

  • Answer:

    Elastic cartilage is the type of cartilage that makes up the outside of the ears. If there is a strong enough impact to the ear, the cartilage can break. Healing take a very long time due to lack of blood flow to aid the healing process.
