Document Summary
Body goes through a predictable sequence of healing. Our treatment/modality choice will be dependent on the phase of healing. Minimal ability to speed up this process, but interfering with this sequence will slow both recovery and return to sport *must review sttt. Inflammatory phase 1 = 0-4 days: repair phase 2 = 3-6weeks, remodeling phase 3 = 6weeks-6years. Cellular injury = altered metabolism + release of chemical mediators/proteins. Characterized by: redness, swelling, increased temperature, tenderness, pain and loss of function. Primary damage = tissue that is torn, may be atfl torn, done and has been torn out. Proliferative and regenerative healing leading to scar formation and repair of injured tissue. Fibroplasia begins within the first few days and the inflammatory signs should decrease. Beware initially very delicate scar but increase in collagen fibers strengthen it. Patient will feel better, start to heal up but the fibers are thin and weak, less swelling and less redness.
