the injury gap fills with a hematoma (blood clot) and PMN leukocytes and lymphocytes appear within hours
185
what is the inflammatory phase of ligament healing?
macrophages arrive within 24-48 hours post-injury and clear necrotic tissue and secrete growth factors that induce neovascularization and formation of granulation tissue

other than neovascularization, what do growth factors induce in the inflammatory phase?
fibroblast proliferation and synthesis of collagen type 1, 3, 5, and non-collagenous proteins
188
what is the proliferation phase of ligament healing?
fibroblasts produce collagen and matrix proteins within 1 week and by week 2 the original blood supply is more organized, capillary buds begin to form, and there is a disorganized collagen matrix
