PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Inflammatory Phase Inflammation both controls bleeding and prevents infection. The fluid engorgement allows healing and repair cells to move to the site of the wound. During the inflammatory phase, damaged cells, pathogens, and bacteria are removed from the wound area.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inflammation. Inflammation, the next stage of wound healing occurs within the first 24 hours after injury and can last for up to 2 weeks in normal wounds and significantly longer in chronic non-healing wounds (Figure 23.3).

Detailed explanation-3: -The goals of the intervention during this phase are to control inflammation, avoid painful positions, minimize pain and edema, restore full, passive ROM, maintain soft-tissue joint integrity, reduce muscle atrophy through gentle isometric muscle setting, maintain aerobic fitness and to enhance function.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple physical methods, such as immediate application of ice and adequate rest for the injured site, may be all that is required in mild injury. For more severe cases, ultrasound and electrical stimulation methods may be needed. Medical therapy also helps control inflammation and relieve pain.
