Detailed explanation-1: -Replacement refers to a type of healing in which severely damaged or non-regenerable tissues are repaired by the laying down of connective tissue, a process commonly referred to as scarring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Supplementation with vitamin D and calcium: has research to support their benefits in the recovery of connective tissue injuries. Zinc is also implied to be important. Also ensure sufficient intake of vitamin C and copper.
Detailed explanation-3: -Remodelling. Remodelling is the final phase of the healing process in which the granulation tissue matures into scar and tissue tensile strength is increased (Figure 23.5).
