Remodeling is the final stage of wound healing. During this period, the newly laid collagen fibers and fibroblasts reorganize along lines of tension. Fibers in a nonfunctional orientation are replaced by functional fibers. This process allows wound strength to increase slowly over a long period (as long as 2 yr).
The next set of events in wound healing is the regrowth or proliferative phase. In this phase, new cells grow into the wound and begin to lay down the collagen and other extracellular fibers that will give strength to the scar. At the same time, new blood vessels are growing into the wound.
