3 Stages of soft tissue healing
- Inflammatory Stage
- Proliferation Phase (AKA Repair Stage)
- Maturation Phase (AKA Remodeling Stage)
What to do during the inflammatory stage?
Protection
Optimal loading
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Proliferative Stage - repair phase
Hematoma is broken down and replaced with granulation tissue (scar tissue is being formed)
Eventually healthier tissue replaces granulation tissue and as the amount increases so does the tensile strength of the tissue
Maturation Phase - remodeling phase
Can last up to one year after the injury
Realignment of the granulation tissue (stronger scar tissue being formed)
Inflammatory Stage
Inflammation is a natural protective response
