  2. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_scar_contracture

    By applying a mild, prolonged stress to the healing tissue at its longest length for at least 6 to 8 hours per day during the healing process, burn rehabilitation aims to prevent and treat scar contracture and deformity. Tolerable pain threshold and scar blanching are used to gauge the extent of treatment.

  4. Adhesion (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_(medicine)

    Adhesions form as a natural part of the body's healing process after surgery in a similar way that a scar forms. The term "adhesion" is applied when the scar extends from within one tissue across to another, usually across a virtual space such as the peritoneal cavity. Adhesion formation post-surgery typically occurs when two injured surfaces ...

    Arthrofibrosis (from Greek: arthro-joint, fibrosis – scar tissue formation) has been described in most joints like knee, hip, ankle, foot joints, shoulder (frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis), elbow (stiff elbow), wrist, hand joints as well as spinal vertebrae. [1] [2] It can occur after injury or surgery or may arise without an obvious ...

    Scarring caused by acne (left), and photo one day after scar revision surgery: The area around sutures is still swollen from surgery. Scar revision is a process of cutting the scar tissue out. After the excision, the new wound is usually closed up to heal by primary intention, instead of secondary intention. Deeper cuts need a multilayered ...

  7. Wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound

    When healing by secondary intention, granulation tissue grows in from the wound edges slowly over time to restore integrity of the skin. Healing by secondary intention can take up to months, requires daily wound care, and leaves an unfavorable scar, thus primary closure is always preferred when possible.

  8. Skin repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_repair

    A week after the injury, the edges of the wound are pulled together by contraction. Contraction is an important part of the healing process when damage has been extensive, and involves shrinking in size of underlying contractile connective tissue, which brings the wound margins toward one another. [1]

  9. Abrasion (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasion_(medicine)

    Dressing the wound is beneficial because it helps keep the wound from drying out, providing a moist environment conducive for healing. [4] If the abrasion is painful, a topical analgesic (such as lidocaine or benzocaine ) can be applied, but for large abrasions, a systemic analgesic may be necessary. [ 3 ]
