Interesting bit of obscure lore there actually.

During the Nibelheim incident, when Sephiroth left his sword behind like he tends to do and Tifa picked it up and tried to use it against him, only for him to overpower her, pull the sword out of her hands, and slice her open so hard she goes flying down the stairs.

The reason Tifa wasn't there when Hojo showed up to grab Cloud and Zack's half-dead asses afterwards is because her martial arts teacher showed up to carry her away first.

And here is the interesting bit.

He tried to heal her, but nothing worked.
Cure spells? Nothing
Potions? Nothing

The wound the Masamune left was not affected by any sort of magical healing.

He thought she wasn't going to make it, but she ultimately pulled through and recovered via the natural healing process of the human body.
She's still got a hugeass scar hidden under her clothing from that event.

Aeris took that same sword right through the spine.

Make of that what you will.
