DEFINITION Response of an organism to a physical
disruption of a tissue/organ with an aim to repair or reconstitute the defect and to re-establish homeostasis.
Can be achieved by 2 processes: scar formation & tissue regeneration.
Dynamic balance between these 2 is different in different tissues.

Introduction During healing, a complex cascade of
cellular events occur to achieve resurfacing, reconstitution and restoration of tensile strength of injured tissue.
3 classic but overlapping phases occur: inflammation, proliferation & maturation.

Early Wound Healing Events (Days 1-4)
![Page 5: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stages of Wound Healing
![Page 6: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Inflammatory Phase Blood vessels are disrupted, resulting in
bleeding. Hemostasis is achieved by formation of platelet plug & activation of extrinsic & intrinsic clotting pathways.
Formation of a provisional fibrin matrix. Recruitment of inflammatory cells into the
wound by potent chemoattractants.
![Page 7: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Early Events in Inflammation Fibrin and fibronectin form a lattice that provides
scaffold for migration of inflammatory, endothelial, and mesenchymal cells.
Neutrophilic infiltrate appears: removes dead tissue & prevent infection.
Monocytes/macrophages follow neutrophils: orchestrated production of growth factors & phagocytosis.

Intermediate Events (Days 4-21)
![Page 15: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Proliferative Phase Granulation tissue formation (composed of
fibroblasts, macrophages and emdothelial cells).
Contraction. Re-epithelialization (begins immediately
after injury)
![Page 16: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Mesenchymal cell proliferation Fibroblasts are the major mesenchymal
cells involved in wound healing, although smooth muscle cells are also involved.
Macrophage products are chemotactic for fibroblasts. PDGF, EGF, TGF, IL-1, lymphocytes are as well.
Replacement of provisional fibrin matrix with type III collagen.
![Page 18: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Angiogenesis Angiogenesis reconstructs vasculature in areas
damaged by wounding, stimulated by high lactate levels, acidic pH, decreased O2 tension in tissues.
Recruitment & assembly of bone marrow derived progenitor cells by cytokines is the central theme.
FGF-1 is most potent angiogenic stimulant identified. Heparin important as cofactor, TGF-alpha, beta, prostaglandins also stimulate.
![Page 19: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Epithelialization Basal cell layer thickening, elongation,
detachment & migration via interaction with ECM proteins via integrin mediators.
Generation of a provisional BM which includes fibronectin, collagens type 1 and 5.
Epithelial cells proliferation contributes new cells to the monolayer. Contact inhibition when edges come together.

Late Wound Healing Events (Days 21-1 yr)
![Page 23: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remodeling Phase Programmed regression of blood vessels &
granulation tissue. Wound contraction. Collagen remodeling.
![Page 24: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Collagen 19 types identified. Type 1(80-90%) most
common, found in all tissue. The primary collagen in a healed wound.
Type 3(10-20%) seen in early phases of wound healing. Type V smooth muscle, Types 2,11 cartilage, Type 4 in BM.
![Page 27: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Wound Contraction Begins approximately 4-5 days after
wounding by action of myofibroblasts. Represents centripetal movement of the
wound edge towards the center of the wound.
Maximal contraction occurs for 12-15 days, although it will continue longer if wound remains open.
![Page 29: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Wound Contraction The wound edges move toward each other
at an average rate of 0.6 to .75 mm/day. Wound contraction depends on laxity of
tissues, so a buttock wound will contract faster than a wound on the scalp or pretibial area.
Wound shape also a factor, square is faster than circular.
![Page 30: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Wound Contraction Contraction of a wound across a joint can
cause contracture. Can be limited by skin grafts, full better
than split thickness. The earlier the graft the less contraction. Splints temporarily slow contraction.
![Page 31: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Remodeling After 21 days, net accumulation of
collagen becomes stable. Bursting strength is only 15% of normal at this point. Remodeling dramatically increases this.
3-6 weeks after wounding greatest rate of increase, so at 6 weeks we are at 80% to 90% of eventual strength and at 6months 90% of skin breaking strength.
![Page 32: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Remodeling The number of intra and intermolecular cross-
links between collagen fibers increases dramatically.
A major contributor to the increase in wound breaking strength.
Quantity of Type 3 collagen decreases replaced by Type 1 collagen
Remodeling continues for 12 mos, so scar revision should not be done prematurely.

Disturbances in Wound Healing
![Page 35: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Local Factors Infection: impairs healing. Smoking: increased platelet adhesiveness,
decreased O2 carrying capacity of blood, abnormal collagen.
Radiation: endarteritis, abnormal fibroblasts.
![Page 36: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Systemic Factors Malnutrition Cancer Old Age Diabetes- impaired neutrophil chemotaxis,
phagocytosis. Steroids and immunosuppression suppresses
macrophage migration, fibroblast proliferation, collagen accumulation, and angiogenesis. Reversed by Vitamin A 25,000 IU per day.
![Page 37: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Abnormal Response to Injury
![Page 38: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Inadequate Regeneration CNS injuries Bone nonunion Corneal ulcers
![Page 39: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Inadequate Scar Formation Diabetic foot ulcers. Sacral pressure sores. Venous stasis ulcers.
![Page 40: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Excessive Regeneration Neuroma Hyperkeratosis in cutaneous psoriasis Adenomatous polyp formation.
![Page 41: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Excessive Scar Formation Excessive healing results in a raised, thickened
scar, with both functional and cosmetic complications.
If it stays within margins of wound it is hypertrophic. Keloids extend beyond the confines of the original injury.
Dark skinned, ages of 2-40. Wound in the presternal or deltoid area, wounds that cross langerhans lines.
![Page 42: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars Keloids more familial Hypertrophic scars develop soon after
injury, keloids up to a year later. Hypertrophic scars may subside in time,
keloids rarely do. Hypertrophic scars more likely to cause
contracture over joint surface.
![Page 43: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars Both from an overall increase in the
quantity of collagen synthesized. Recent evidence suggests that the
fibroblasts within keloids are different from those within normal dermis in terms of their responsiveness.
No modality of treatment is predictably effective for these lesions.

Basics Optimize systemic parameters Debride nonviable tissue Reduce wound bioburden Optimize blood flow Reduce edema Use dressings appropriately Use pharmacologic therapy Close wounds with grafts/flaps as indicated
![Page 46: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Optimize systemic parameters Age: cannot be reversed, usage of growth
factors, aggressive optimization of systemic parameters & supplementation.
Avoidance of ischemia & malnutrition. Correction of diabetes, removal of FB. Avoidance of steroids, alcohol, smoking. Avoidance of reperfusion injury: total
contact casting, compression therapy.
![Page 47: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Debridement & Reduction of Bioburden Surface irrigation with saline. Debridement: surgical, enzymatic (papain with
urea, collagenase), mechanical (pressurized water jet), autolytic, maggots.
Antibiotics: cellulitis, decreased rate of healing, increased pain, straw colored oozing from skin, contaminated wounds, mechanical implants.
Removal of FB.
![Page 48: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Reduce edema Elevation Compression Negative pressure wound therapy: removes
pericellular transudate & wound exudate as well as deleterious enzymes. Cannot be used in ischemic, badly infected or inadequately debrided wounds or in malignancy.
![Page 50: woundhealingwoundcare-091014152411-phpapp02](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577cc7621a28aba711a0c582/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Dressings Absorption characteristics: none – films, low –
hydrogels, moderate - hydrocolloids, high – foams, alginates, collagen.
Hydrogels (eg. starch) rehydrate wounds (benefit in small amounts of eschar, infected wounds).
Hydrocolloids promote wound debridement by autolysis.
Antimicrobial dressings: silver, cadexomer iodine, mupirocin, neomycin.
