2. Abrasion (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

   Abrasions on elbow and lower arm. The elbow wound will produce a permanent scar. A first-degree abrasion involves only epidermal injury. A second-degree abrasion involves the epidermis as well as the dermis and may bleed slightly. A third-degree abrasion involves damage to the subcutaneous layer and the skin and is often called an avulsion.

   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.

4. Scar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar

   A scar (or scar tissue) is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury. Scars result from the biological process of wound repair in the skin, as well as in other organs , and tissues of the body.

5. Skin repair - Wikipedia

   In a major injury, if epithelial cell migration and tissue contraction cannot cover the wound, suturing the edges of the injured skin together, or even replacement of lost skin with skin grafts, may be required to restore the skin. As epithelial cells continue to migrate around the scab, the dermis is repaired by the activity of stem cells.

   Then, a thin piece of tissue is removed circumferentially around the tumour and sectioned with a cryostat microtome. This is followed by tissue processing and viewing under a microscope. If any residual tumour could be identified microscopically, the tumour site could be marked for further tissue removal.

7. Manipulation under anesthesia - Wikipedia

   It aims to break up adhesions (scar tissue) on and around spinal joints as the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and pelvic regions, or extremity joints as the knee, shoulder and hip, to which a restricted range of motion can be painful and limit function. Failed attempts at other standard conservative treatment methods (i.e., manipulation ...
