  2. Manipulation under anesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manipulation_under_anesthesia

    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 ...

  3. Arthrofibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrofibrosis

    Arthrofibrosis can occur after total knee replacement or partial knee replacement, when excessive scar tissue (collagen fibril) deposition occurs in and around the knee. This can be accompanied by shortening of the patellar tendon (patella baja/infera) which can also contribute to limited flexion.

  4. Articular cartilage damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_damage

    Articular cartilage does not usually regenerate (the process of repair by formation of the same type of tissue) after injury or disease leading to loss of tissue and formation of a defect. This fact was first described by William Hunter in 1743. [1] Several surgical techniques have been developed in the effort to repair articular cartilage defects.

  6. Skin grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_grafting

    This is based upon the principle of mobilizing a full segment of skin from an area to the site needing tissue replacement. The flaps are triangularly shaped opposite each other. It can be used in direct excision and closure of a contracted scar to produce a better looking and healing scar. It helps to elongate and break up a linear scar.

  7. 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.

  8. Knee replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_replacement

    Some physicians and patients may consider having ultrasonography for deep venous thrombosis after knee replacement. [75] [76] Neither gabapentin nor pregabalin have been found to be useful for pain following a knee replacement. [77] A Cochrane review concluded that early multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs may produce better results. [78]

  9. Fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrosis

    Fibrosis, also known as fibrotic scarring, is a pathological wound healing in which connective tissue replaces normal parenchymal tissue to the extent that it goes unchecked, leading to considerable tissue remodelling and the formation of permanent scar tissue.
