What's worse breaking a bone or tearing a ligament?

I am a 22 year old male. I want to know what's worse breaking a bone or tearing a ligament?

Breaking a bone is usually better because bones are very vascular and heal better and faster. Ligaments on the other hand do tend to heal in most cases but since their blood supply is very limited, they take much longer to heal in a lot of cases.
Ligament.
