Clinical Consideration
Neural and circulatory structures are often bundled and track together;
therefore, it is important to consider neurovascular implications associated
with pathophysiological scars. As is the case with neural structures,
circulatory function can also be impacted by compression as a result of
dense, fibrosed tissue (e.g. impact on blood vascular and lymphatic
function). Circulatory sequelae associated with pathophysiological scars
include ischemia, hypoxia, edema and tissue congestion. In and of
themselves, circulatory sequelae are important clinical considerations and
can lead to or exacerbate neural distress.
