Document Summary
Tendon: a tough fibrous connective tissue that usually conects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons and muscles work together to move bones. Grade 2: pain with activity, does not restrict but may affect performance. Grade 3: pain with activity that restricts and moderately to severely affect s performance. Healing process: repair, regeneration, and formation of scar tissue. Fibrolastic repair phase- scra tissue sppears, type 3 collagen. Maturation remodeling phase fi(cid:374)alizatip(cid:374) of s(cid:272)ar tissue, wolf"s law is applied. Phase begins immediately and lasrs 48 to 72 hours overlapping into a fourth day. Signs of inflammation: redness, swelling, heat, pain, and loss of function. Overlappingfrom a few weeks and extending months and possibly years towards completion. General purpose: continuous remodeling towards final scar tissue. Collagen fibers aling along direction of tissue tension. Overlapping from fourth day up to 6 weeks. General purpose: gradual repair and remodeling, leading to formation and increase tensile strenght of scar tissue.
