PATH1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Hematoma, Bone Healing, Hemostasis
Document Summary
No injury can be made to heal faster than its natural speed; all that can be done is to ensure that all favorable conditions are encouraged. No more structural cells are lost after the inflammation process is complete. If tissue is damages it will either be: If any repair by fibrous tissue occurs, there will be a scar. Primary intention: a well-approximated wound is an ideal situation. Neat surgical wounds held tight by sutures and fibrin. Surgically approximated broken bones (metal plates and screws: as there is no gap between the tissue the edges are closer together and healing occurs by pi. Spectacular wound (scar tissue) contraction can occur in late stages (90-95% of original sa) Phases of tissue healing and repair: bleeding-clotting haemostasis, this can be skipped if there is no damage to blood vessel. Haematoma=a body of blood: precursor for tissue repair, provides for:
