PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -The third phase of healing consists of remodeling, which begins two to three weeks after the onset of the lesion and can last for one year or more. The core aim of the remodeling stage is to achieve the maximum tensile strength through reorganization, degradation, and resynthesis of the extracellular matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -The remodelling phase is focused on increasing the cellular organization of the collagen fibres and increasing the strength between the bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary goal during the maturation-remodeling phase is to optimize tissue function while returning to play. The athlete can be tempted to try and do “too much too soon” as there may not be any more pain but, tissues are not fully healed.
