PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Remodeling phase – This phase can continue for six months to one year after injury. Collagen continues to increase and the tissue begins to contract with the help of fibroblasts, both of which add strength to the new tissue. Excessive collagen can cause scar tissue formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Finally, the body will convert this granulation tissue into a scar; this is known as the remodelling phase. The remodelling phase is a lengthy process that can take up to 1 year to complete; during this time the scar often becomes smaller and more pale in colour.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Remodeling or also known as maturation phase is the fourth and final phase in wound healing and lasts from 21 days up to 2 years. In this final and longest phase, collagen synthesis is ongoing in order to strengthen the tissue.
