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).
Wound healing is divided into four overlapping states: 1) homeostasis, (2) inflammatory, (3) proliferative, and (4) remodeling. Describe the hemeostatic, inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling states of tissue repair. The skin consists of the dermis and epidermis that exist in equilibrium. Once the skin is broken the process of wound healing begins by the aggregation of platelets to the injury site to form a fibrin clot.
