It contains some upsetting and disturbing images.
Edges of the wound can be closely approximated, are clearly defined, and the wound is clean.

Complete resolution, where tissue is fully restored to its original state.
When the inflammatory process is efficient, heals by first intention, all debris is removed, and tissue retains specialized cells able to regenerate.
It is a crucial part of the body's healing process.
Ulceration refers to the formation of an ulcer, which is a sore on the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal.
Vascular/Bleeding phase.
To discuss the broad stages of inflammation, healing, and repair.
When the damaged area is cleaned and clear of all debris.
Fibroblasts, which produce collagen and extracellular matrix.
Remodeling phase.
All debris must be removed and specialized cells capable of regeneration must be present.
It may lead to suboptimal healing outcomes.
Factors such as infection, excessive tension on the wound, or inadequate healing can lead to wound dehiscence.
The remodeling phase involves the maturation and reorganization of collagen fibers to strengthen the healed tissue.
In areas with poor blood supply, such as in diabetics or individuals with peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
Macrophages.
Organ blockage.
15 times as likely.
Collagen starts to be laid down in a more orderly fashion.
The 'hip' tunes.
21 days to several months/years.
It can last from several weeks to years.
It matures and becomes more organized, improving its strength.
At 2 to 3 months.
Soft tissue Injury Management.
Proliferation phase.
They 'eat' debris left over from the acute inflammatory phase.
A few hours to several days, typically 6 to 8 hours.
Quick onset within 24 hours.
To clarify or explain a concept.
They pull the edges of the wound closer together.
To strengthen and reorganize the collagen fibers in the wound.

A condition characterized by the thickening and shortening of the tissue under the skin of the palm, leading to finger contractures.
No, healing will usually occur but not always with optimal resolution.
It helps to align collagen fibers and improve tissue strength.
No, the cause is unknown.
Chemical mediators.
Chemicals released when tissue is damaged.
Almost immediately.
For many months to years.
Fibroblasts become myofibroblasts, which are contractile.
Wound dehiscence is the partial or total separation of the layers of a surgical wound.
It becomes less vascular and more cellular.
Type I collagen.
It is the stage where new tissue forms to replace lost or damaged tissue.
Ulceration can lead to infection, chronic pain, and delayed healing.
It continues to increase for many months to years.
It usually lasts from days 3 to 21 after injury.
Through a process called chemotaxis.
They lay down collagen (Type III), elastin, and ground substances.
A form of loose connective tissue that bridges the wound gap.
They bring oxygen to the healing tissue.
Edges of the wound are far apart and the wound closes by filling with granulation tissue.
The main phases of healing are inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
Restrictions in the normal range of motion of a joint following trauma.
Proliferation phase and Remodeling phase.
Wound dehiscence.
Inflammatory/Cellular phase.
Angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and epithelialization.
Excessive scar formation that may be cosmetically undesirable.
Collagen provides structural support and strength to the new tissue.
The formation of new blood vessels, crucial for supplying nutrients to healing tissue.
Joint contractures.
In a disorganized pattern.
1 to 2 weeks.
2 to 3 weeks post-injury.
It usually benefits from surgical closure.
The body responds to injury with swelling, redness, and heat as it begins to repair damaged tissue.
The proliferation phase focuses on tissue formation and wound closure.
Advancing age, Scandinavian and Celtic ancestry, epilepsy, alcoholism, and diabetes.
The average timeframes of each stage.
4 to 21 days.
They are integrated.
Angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels).
Acute/Subacute and Chronic.
Histamine, serotonin, kinins, complement system, prostaglandins.
In 2 to 3 days.
2 to 3 weeks post-injury.
Hypertrophic (Keloid) scarring.
They cause vasodilation, increase permeability of capillary walls, and attract neutrophils.
