2. Scar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar

   Dermatology, plastic surgery. A scar (or scar tissue) is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury. Scars result from the biological process of wound repair in the skin, as well as in other organs, and tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process.

3. Arthrofibrosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrofibrosis

   Arthrofibrosis. Arthrofibrosis (from Greek: arthro- joint, fibrosis – scar tissue formation) has been described in most joints like knee, hip, ankle, foot joints, shoulder ( frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis ), elbow (stiff elbow), wrist, hand joints as well as spinal vertebrae. [ 1][ 2] It can occur after injury or surgery or may arise ...

4. Silicone gel sheeting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_gel_sheeting

   Hypertrophic scar. Silicone gel sheeting is the gold-standard and non-invasive treatment for hypertrophic and keloid scars. During skin injury repair, dermal cells proliferate and migrate from the skin tissue to the wound, producing collagen and causing contraction of the placement dermis. [ 5] These scars are proliferative due to chronic ...

5. Keloid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keloid

   Keloid, also known as keloid disorder and keloidal scar, [ 1 ] is the formation of a type of scar which, depending on its maturity, is composed mainly of either type III (early) or type I (late) collagen. It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type III) at the site of a healed skin injury which is then slowly replaced ...

6. Adhesion (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_(medicine)

   Adhesions form as a natural part of the body's healing process after surgery in a similar way that a scar forms. The term "adhesion" is applied when the scar extends from within one tissue across to another, usually across a virtual space such as the peritoneal cavity. Adhesion formation post-surgery typically occurs when two injured surfaces ...

7. Scar free healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar_free_healing

   Scar free healing is the process by which significant injuries can heal without permanent damage to the tissue the injury has affected. In most healing, scars form due to the fibrosis and wound contraction, however in scar free healing, tissue is completely regenerated. During the 1990s, published research on the subject increased; it is a ...
