Remodeling phase
-can be as early as 3/9 days or can start a few mos after injury
-final aggregation, orientation, and arrangement of collagen fibers
-tensile strength is initially 15% but toward the end may be close to near normal
For a successful healing a scar must
-have tissue in the same line as it is replacing
-be as long as the tissue it's replacing (or it'll restrict motion)
-not adhered to adjacent structures
-be of sufficient quality and quantity to accept the compressive, distractive, and shearing stresses to which it is subjected
a scars final physical characteristics and maturation is dependent upon
-synthesis-lysis balance and fiber orientation
-in a healthy body, synthesis-lysis balance of collagen is at an equal rate
after injury collagen synthesis is
-accelerated in and around injured area
two theories regarding forces that direct fiber orientation
-induction theory
-tension theory
Induction theory
-scar tissue fiber orientation mimics the tissue its replacing
tension theory
-that scar tissue is molded by functional activity and the stresses it places on the area
